WASHER/DRYER SAFETY
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this Use & Care Guide must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or
more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circum-
stances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more,
prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all
hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several min-
utes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is
connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will
allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance
during this process.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this Use & Care Guide and your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
