damage.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the product or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended or published in this Service Manual and unless you understand and have the

W006R2

WARNING

4F232203

Safety Information

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do

not understand.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer-

extractor.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual (supplied with your

washer-extractor) for the proper grounding of the

washer-extractor.

3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other

flammable or explosive substances. They give off

vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. 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.

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

washer-extractor, 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.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• Disconnect electric power to the washer-extractor before servicing.

• Never start the washer-extractor with any guards/panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be

reconnected to ensure that the washer-extractor is properly grounded.

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep the washer-extractor in good condition.

Bumping or dropping the washer-extractor can

20. Be sure that water connections have a shut-off

valve and that fill hose connections are tight.

CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each

wash day.
