Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Install the washer according the
INSTALLATION instructions. Refer to the
GROUNDING instructions in the
INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer. All connections for
water, drain, electrical power and grounding must
comply with local codes and be made by licensed
personnel when required. It is recommended that
the machine be installed by qualified technicians.
3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
4. To prevent fire and explosion, keep the area
around machine free from flammable and
combustible products. Do not add the following
substances or textiles containing traces of the
following substances to the wash water: gasoline,
kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils,
machine oils, dry-cleaning solvents, flammable
chemicals, thinners, or other flammable or
explosive substances. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite, explode or cause the
fabric to catch fire by itself.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two 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 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. The gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washer to the electrical power
source.
