WASHER DISPOSAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
Read all instructions before using the washer.
■
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or
explode.
■
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.
■
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 washing
machine, turn on all hot water taps 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.
■
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children.
■
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
■
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
■
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
■
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt
any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use
and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
■
See Installation Instructions for earthing requirements.
■
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
