IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury when using your portable washer, follow
these basic 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
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 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.
• DANGER or WARNING: 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 its service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
