SAFETY INFORMATION
13. 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 2 weeks or more, before using a
washer 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.
14. Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible
materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
15. Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated
with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load
to catch fire.
16. This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in
RVs, aircraft, etc.
17. Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for
an extended period of time, such as during vacations.
