Note:
The instructions appearing in
this Owner's Guide are not meant to
cover every possible condition and
situation that may occur. Common
sense and caution must be practiced
when installing, operating and
maintaining any appliance.
Read all instructions before using this washer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer,
comply with the basic warnings listed below.
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.
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.

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.
