Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this washer.

 To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when

using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below.

 Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Fire

 Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in,

or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do
not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or
chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

 Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer.

These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

 Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or

explosive substances to the wash water.  These substances give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.

 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot

water system that has not been used for 2 weeks 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 flow from each
for several minutes.  This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.  Hydrogen gas
is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

 Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious

bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

Protect Children

 Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision

of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

 Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the

washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

 Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal

injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

 Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the

washer lid to prevent accidental entrapment.

 Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
