IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the washer.

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

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.

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 washing
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.

Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

See “Electrical Requirements” for grounding instructions.

Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.

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.

The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of
fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment
manufacturer’s wash and care instructions.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer
at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.

NOTE:

Pushing the OFF button does not disconnect the

appliance from the power supply.

Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or
broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
