Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on

hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if 
a break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need
replacement after 5 years.

Before discarding a washer, or removing 

it from service, remove the washer lid to
prevent children from hiding inside.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

this appliance unless specifically recommended
in this Owner’s Manual, or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

Do not tamper with controls.

WHEN NOT IN USE

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
