1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that

10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used

for 2 weeks ormore. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such

a period, before using a washer or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot waterfaucets and let the

waterflow 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.
