IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE 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 a 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 neceassary when the
washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the
lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the
tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store this 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 the Owner's
Manual or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
• See Page 3 of this booklet for
recommended grounding
instructions.
