General Safety
•
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•
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.
•
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 this appliance, 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.
•
Always unplug an appliance from the power supply before
attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping
the plug, not the cord.
•
To reduce the risk of fire: clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and
the like which have traces of any flammable substance, such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must NOT be placed in this appliance. These
items may contain flammable substances which, even after
washing, may smoke or ignite in the dryer mode.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
•

the machine and tub before every operation.
