Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
• Read all instructions before using the portable washer.
• 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 vapours 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
vapours that could ignite or explode.
• 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 such a
period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets
and let 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.
Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still
dangerous . . . even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days."
• Before you throw away your old portable washer: Take off the lid.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the portable
washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is
used near children.
• Do not reach into the washer if the agitator or inner tub is moving.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or
in published user-repair instructions.
• Never clean portable washer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not place the washer in steamy rooms or where the washer is directly
exposed to rain. Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing
an electrical shock hazard.
• Do not store, use gasoline, or any other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other portable washer. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
it's service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
