Safety Instructions
■
Never reach into washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely
stopped before opening the lid.
■
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia
or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing different chemicals can produce
a toxic gas which may cause death.
■
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
may ignite or explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water. Do not use or
place these substances around your washer
or dryer during operation.

The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
wash and care instructions.

unplug this appliance from the power supply

Never attempt to operate this appliance if
it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,

WHEN USING THE WASHER

replaced every 5 years.

Before discarding a washer, or removing it
from service, remove the washer lid to
prevent children from hiding inside.
