from service, remove the washer door to prevent
children from hiding inside.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
„ Never reach into washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely stopped
before opening the door.
„ 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.
„ Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances (such
as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-
cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite
or explode. Do not add these substances to the
wash water. Do not use or place these substances
around your washer or dryer during operation.
„ 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 building’s
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. NOTE: Pressing the
power 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.
„ Do not slam the washer door closed. Do not try
to force the door open when locked (LOCKED
indicator ON). This could result in damage to
the washer.
„ The 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 2 hours, if the washer
has not been manually turned off
during this time.
