WARNING Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Sort and prepare your laundry Helpful Tips: � Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items. � Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling.
