Important safety instructions
■ ■
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play inside, or on, or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
■ ■
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping/packing materials properly. Before discarding a
washer, or removing from service, remove the washer lid.
■ ■
Do not leave the washer lid up during the cycle. The washer will not function. To start, close lid
and press START/PAUSE.
■ ■
Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) which give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your washer and/or dryer
during operation, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
■ ■
The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, the
garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.
■ ■
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acid such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing
can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

Never climb on or stand on the washer top or lid.

Do not wash fibreglass articles in your washer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining
particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent washer use.
