Read these Laundry Instruc- tions for important use and

safety information before using your washer.

NEVER wash items cleaned, washed, soaked in or spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, or in flamma- ble fluids in the washer. The fumes can create a FIRE HAZARD or EXPLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder and air dry fabrics contain- ing these materials.

NEVER allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

When discarding an old washer, ALWAYS remove the lid to prevent accidental entrapment.

NEVER put your hands into the washer until all motion stops. If the lid is opened while the basket is spinning, the basket will automati- tally stop in a few seconds.

DO NOT tamper with controls.

NEVER use or store flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene) in or near your washer, Do Not add flammable fluids to the wash water. These substances

give off vapors that can create a FIRE HAZARD or EXPLOSION.

lIf hot water has not been used recently (usually 2 weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may build up in the water heater and the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or damage, before using your washer, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. This will allow gases to escape. DO NOT smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is open.
