IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
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 the washing machine, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the wafer flow from each for sever
al 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 or lid.
■ Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
■ Do not install or store the 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 this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
■ See “Electrical Requirements” for grounding instructions.
