the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving
parts, there are potential hazards.To use this appliance
safely, the operator should become familiar with the
instructions for operation of the appliance and always
exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the
weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the
appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded
adequately and in accordance with local and national
codes. See installation instructions for grounding this
appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive sub-
stances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing
these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning sol-
vent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or
solids, should not be placed in the washer until all
traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso-
line, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
b. 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.
c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two 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 combination
washer-dryer, 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.
d. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg-
etable or cooking oil.These items may contain some oil
after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric
may smoke or catch fire by itself.
