IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washing machine, follow basic precautions, including the following. 1. BOSCH washers are provided with a manual, including Operating Instructions, User Maintenance Instructions and Installation Instructions. Read all instructions before using the washing machine. 2. Do not wash 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 could ignite or explode. 3. 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. 4. 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, turn on all hot water faucets 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. 5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. 6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and the power cord/plug. 7.
