PREVENT INJURY

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during 

• 

operation, the washer must be installed and electrically 

grounded by a qualifi ed service person in accordance 

with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in 

the washer for installer’s reference. Refer to 

INSTAL-

LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding 

procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, 

have it checked and reinstalled by a qualifi ed service 

person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, 

• 

the electrical power cord of the washer must be 

plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 

3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never 

be removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe. 

Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. 
Follow package directions when using laundry products. 

• 

Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas - resulting 

in serious injury or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load un-

• 

less specifi ed on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such 

• 

as vinegar.

PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE WASHER
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the 

washer:

All repairs and servicing must be performed by an 

• 

authorized servicer unless specifi cally recommended 

in this Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory 

parts. 
Do not tamper with controls.

• 

Do not install or store the washer where it will be ex-

• 

posed to the weather.
Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid fl oor. 

• 

It may be necessary to reinforce the fl oor to prevent 

vibration or movement.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this 

• 

appliance from the power supply before attempting 

any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF 

position does not disconnect this appliance from the 

power supply.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while 

• 

parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or add-

ing items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow 

the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching 

inside.
This washer is equipped with an electrical overload 

• 

protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. 

The washer will automatically restart after a cool down 

period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been 

manually turned off during this time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

• 

serious personal injuries.

WARNING

FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Avoid fi re hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an 

adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding 

prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this 

warning can cause serious injury, fi re or death.

WARNING

HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD

Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other 

household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust 

removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These 

mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can 

cause serious injury or death.
