tion. Bumping or dropping wash-
er can damage safety features. If

nician.

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 dur-
ing this time.
