WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property
damage or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance. It is for use only in
washing, rinsing and spin drying household textiles and garments.
As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there
are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should
become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and
always exercise care when using it.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather.
Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the
weight.
This appliance must be properly earthed. Never plug the appliance cord
into an electrical socket outlet that is not adequately earthed and in
accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for
earthing this appliance.
To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapours that
could ignite or explode.
Hand wash and line dry any items
containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which
is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed
in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and
their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol, paraffin,
kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Do not add petrol, 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 or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water taps 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.
