■ Never reach into washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely stopped
before opening the lid.
■ 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.). These substances give off
vapors that 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: Turning the Cycle Selector Knob to an
off position, or pressing PAUSE 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.
WHEN USING THE WASHER
■ Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses
and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or
rupture should occur. Check the condition of the
fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.
■ Before discarding a washer, or removing it
from service, remove the washer lid to prevent
children from hiding inside.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically recommended in
this Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
