WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when using your washer, follow
these basic precautions:
1.
Read all instructions before using the washer.
2.
Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installa-
tion Manual for the proper grounding 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 accumu-
lated 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.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7.
Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing com-
partment.
8.
Do not reach into the washer if the wash tub 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 recom-
mended in the User-Maintenance instructions or in
published user-repair instructions that you under-
stand 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 con-
nect 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 grounding 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 elimi-
nate static unless recommended by the manufac-
turer 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. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
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.
21. Loading door must be closed any time the washer
is to fill, tumble or spin. Do not attempt to bypass
the loading door switch by permitting the washer to
operate with the loading door open.
22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions
on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all
warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of
poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the
reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
23. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied
by the garment manufacturer.
24. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or
panels removed.
25. Do not operate the washer with missing or broken
parts.
26. Do not bypass any safety devices.
27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
washer according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions may result in conditions which can produce
bodily injury and/or property damage.
Note: The Warning and Important Safety Instructions
appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
Common sense, caution and care must be exercised
when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or
the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you
do not understand.
