IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the machine, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1.
READ
all instructions before using the machine, and
KEEP
them in a prominent location for customer use.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, and other flammable or explosive substances as they
GIVE OFF VAPOURS
that
could ignite or explode.
3.
DO NOT ADD
petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
. If the hot water system has not been used for such
a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
CLOSE SUPERVISION
of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children.

REMOVE
the door.

if the drum is moving.
8. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the
WEATHER
.
9.
DO NOT TAMPER

OR MODIFY OR MANIPULATE
