Important Safety Instructions

(Save These Instructions)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS in 

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper 
earthing of the washer.

3. Do not wash articles that have been previously 

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with 
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other 
flammable or explosive substances as they give 
off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or 

other flammable or explosive substances to the 
wash water. These substances give off vapors that 
could ignite or explode.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be 

produced in a hot water system that has not been 
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS 
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not 
been used for such a period, before using a 
washing machine or combination washer-dryer, 
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water 
flow from each for several minutes. This will 
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE 
GAS IS FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR 
USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. 

This appliance is not intended for use by young 
children or infirm persons without supervision. 
Young children should be supervised to ensure 
that they do not play with the appliance.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or 

discarded, remove the door to the washing 
compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or 

agitator is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be 

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or 

attempt any servicing unless specifically 
recommended in the User-Maintenance 
instructions or in published User-Repair 
instructions that you understand and have the 
skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO 

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to 
connect the washer to the electrical power source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, 

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical 

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect 
the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All 
connections for water, drain, electrical power and 
earthing must comply with local codes and be 
made by licensed personnel when required. Do 
not do it yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have 

traces of any flammable substances such as 
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, 
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything 
containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and 
cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer. 
These flammable substances may cause the 
fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to 

eliminate static unless recommended by the 
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or 

dropping the washer can damage safety features. 
If this occurs, have your washer checked by a 
qualified service person.

19. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced 

by a special cord or assembly available from the 
manufacturer or its service agent.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve 

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE 
the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, 
serious injury or death to persons when 
using your washer, follow these basic 
precautions:
