Prevent Fire

Do not wash items that have been
previouslycleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc.
Do not store these items on or near the washer. These
substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that
could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing
on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, 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 the washer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

Protect Children

Do not allow children to play on or in the
washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other
packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's
reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings
on product labels.
