• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances

to the wash water.  These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• 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 the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes.  This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily

injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

Protect Children

• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances.

• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is

unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all

warnings on product labels.

• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer door to

prevent accidental entrapment.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Injury

• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be

installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with
local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the washer for installer's reference.
Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the
washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified
service person.

• To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical power cord of the

washer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. 

The

third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the washer to
a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.

• Follow package directions when using laundry products.  Incorrect usage can produce

poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death.

- Do not 

combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.

- Do not

 mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.

• To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:

- All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer 

unless

specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.

- Do not

 tamper with controls.

- Do not 

install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply

before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF position
does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.

• To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.  Before loading,

unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow the drum to coast
to a complete stop before reaching inside.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
• This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it

becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down period
of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
