WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent

property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N S T RU C T I O N S

• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as

described in this manual.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or 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 washer, 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 to prevent children from

climbing inside.

• Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or

attempt any servicing other than as described in this

manual. We strongly recommend that any service be

performed by a qualified individual.

• See Installation Instructions for grounding

requirements.

• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your

washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may

contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a

load to catch fire.

• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only

as recommended by the manufacturer.

• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for

mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.

• Turn off the water taps and unplug the washer if the

machine is to be left for an extended period of time,

such as during vacations.

• Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children.

There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from

children.

• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign

objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed

when not in use.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or

agitator is moving.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce

the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is

equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appli-

ance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can cause

serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
