IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SAFETY AND USE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shocks or
injury when using the appliance, the basic precautions
should be observed, including the following:
1- READ all the instructions prior to using the appliance
and KEEP THEM in an easily accessible place for
reference in the event of doubt.
2- Do NOT wash clothes which have been previously
treated, washed, soaked or stained with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other inflammable or

3- Do NOT add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other
inflammable substances to the washing water.

If the hot water system has not been used for a

the hot water taps and let the water run for a few
minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is inflammable, do not
smoke or use open flames during this operation.
