■ 

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.

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

of fabrics. To avoid such a
result, carefully follow the

of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power
supply or disconnect the
