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
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 h ot-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 us e 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 w asher 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.
