hand wash and line dry items containing

these materials.

•Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,

kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be

used or stored in or near your washer. Do

hydrogen gases may build up in your

water heater and your hot water pipes.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE To

prevent injury or damage, before using

your washer, turn on all hot water faucets

and allow water to run for several min-

utes. This will allow gases to escape. Do

cabinet if possible).

• Read and follow instructions on pack-

ages of detergent and laundry aids,

especially warnings and precautions.

,, Do not wash or dry items that are soiled

with vegetable or cooking oil. These

items may contain some oil after launder-

ing. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric

may smoke or catch fire by itself.

or acids (such as vinegar or rust re-

mover) in the same wash, Hazardous
