Basic Information
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 Fire
• Do not wash items that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes,
etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer.
These substances give off vapors or chemical
reactions that could ignite or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of
the washer. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite the materials.
• 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.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• 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.
Prevent Injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the washer must be instaled 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 adapter 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 1load
unless specified on the label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids
such as vinegar.
