including the following :
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing or drying compartment.

instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
10. 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 a washing machine or

This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
11. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction
that could cause a load to catch fire
12. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
13. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
14. To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be fastened or otherwise secured to an uncovered concrete floor.
