or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for such a period, before using
the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
fl ow from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is fl ammable; do
not smoke or use an open fl ame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors or •
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fi re, •
