To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

precautions, including the following.
• Before use, the washer must be properly
installed as
described
in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry
cleaning
solvents, or other flammable
or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
• 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

•Under certain conditions,
hydrogen
gas may be
produced
in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN

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

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.
