SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
The instructions
appearing in this
INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
manual are not meant to
cover every possible
condition and situation
that may occur. Common
sense and caution must
be practiced when
installing, operating and
maintaining any
appliance.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the
basic warnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning
solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give
off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for such a period,
before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage
to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might
use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid to prevent accidental
entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Refer to INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and
reinstalled by a qualified 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.
