including the following :
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk
of electric shock.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or
solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite the materials.
• Do not wash items that are soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
• Disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the
controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this
appliance from the power supply. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in one load
unless specified on the label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids
such as vinegar. Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce
poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.

START/PAUSE button and allow the drum to coast to a
complete stop before reaching inside. Failure to

washer is used near children. As children grow, teach
them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in serious
injury to persons or death.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing
materials after the washer is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious injury to persons or death.

prevent injury to persons, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these
warnings could result in serious injury to persons
or death..
• Before your washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment to avoid the danger of children or small
animals getting trapped inside Failure to do so can
result in serious injury to persons or death.
• Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed at all times
when not being filled with laundry products. Failure to
keep the drawer closed can result in personal injury
