BOSCH washers are provided with an Operating, Care and Installation Instructions Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the washing machine. 2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, 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 this length of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow out of each faucet for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame while carrying out this procedure. 5. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and the power cord/plug. 6. Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is moving. 7. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. 8. Do not tamper with the controls. 9. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 10. Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. 11. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and the like which have been soiled with any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates, waxes, fats, etc., must must be kept away from any source of ignition, including a clothes dryer. These items may contain flammable substances which, even after washing, may smoke or catch fire. 12. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (such as curtains and window coverings that use fiberglass materials). Small particles may remain in the washing machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads causing skin irritation. 4
