To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock,
or personal injury when using your washer, follow
basic safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after
unpacking the washer. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheet can create a chamber
with inadequate ventilation.
Remove the door to the washing compartment
before the washer is removed from service or
discarded.
4. Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator
is moving. The washer is equipped with a safety
switch for your protection. If action does not stop

been repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Do not tamper with the operating controls.
