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, 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 washing machine, 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
hiding inside.
* Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
* Do not tamper with the controls.
* Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or
published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
* 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.
* Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
* Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
* Do not remove ground prong.
* If you don't have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
