ponents and piping become very hot during operation.
Inner surfaces of washer are very hot after cycle completion. Operator should wear appropriate Per-
sonal Protective Equipment (PPE) and avoid all contact with inner walls when entering chamber to
unload washer.
Pipes may be extremely hot.
When cycle is complete, partially open chamber door and allow chamber and load to cool. Hot steam

To avoid slippery floor conditions, keep floor dry. Promptly wipe up any spilled liquids or condensation. If
spilled liquids are detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set
forth on detergent or chemical label and/or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
