Important Safety Instructions
Your washing machine has been built in compliance with the strictest international
safety regulations, to protect you and all your family
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that
can support the weight.
3. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptable which is not
grounded adequately and in accordance with local and
national codes. See installation instructions for grounding
this appliance.
4. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
- Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, other flammable, or exlosive
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 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 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.
- To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop
heads and the like which have traces of any flammable
substances, such as vegetable oil, petroleum based
oils or distillates, waxes, fats, etc. must not be placed in
the washing machine. These items may contain some
flammable substances after laundering, which may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
5. Always be sure to unplug the washing machine
from the electrical supply before attempting any service.
6. Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with wet hands.
