SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, CARE, CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
y Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
y Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.
y Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite the materials.
y Do not wash items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laun-
dering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
y 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.
y Do not combine laundry products for use in one load unless specified on the label.
y 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.
y Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading, or adding items, press the
START/PAUSE button and allow the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
y Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the
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.
y 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.
y Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To 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.
y Remove the lid to the washing compartment before your washer is removed from service or discarded 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.
y Keep hands and foreign objects clear of the lid and latch area when closing the lid. Failure to keep hands clear
can result in personal injury.
y Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. This may result in electric shock.
y Do not touch the water draining from the machine during a high-temperature wash or drying cycle. This
water is hot, and touching it may result in burns or injury.
y Do not stand on top of the appliance or place objects(such an laundry, lighted candles,lighted cigarettes,
dishes, chemicals, metal objects, etc.) on the appliance. This may result in electric shock, fire, problems with
the product, or injury.
y Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to freezing temperatures. Water may freeze in
the hoses and damage the washer. Winterize the washer before storing or moving it in freezing tempera-
tures. Refer to the Maintenance section for instructions.
