IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
WARNING
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
DO NOT wash or dry 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 a
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 this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is
used near children. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.

recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
