READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
WARNING
• 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
If you don't have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed
to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to
prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
