To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, and other

other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.

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.
