IMPORTANT SAFETY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
•
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
user manual.
•
Do not place articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances in the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near
children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this
appliance.
•
Do not use the washer for commercial clothes washing.
•
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.
•
This appliance must be properly installed and located in accordance
with the installation instructions before it is used.
•
Do not store or install this appliance where it will be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to weather, which can cause
damage to the appliance.
•
The appliance must be properly grounded to conform with all
electrical codes and ordinances. See "Electrical Requirements"
section.
•
Keep the area around your appliance free from combustible materials
such as lint, paper, rags or chemicals.
•
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.
•
Do not reach into the appliance if the wash basket, tub or agitator is
moving.
•
Do not tamper with the controls.
•
Do not stand on top of the washer.
•
If the power plug or power cord are damaged, contact your nearest
service center. Do not use a damaged power plug.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from
the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
NOTE: Turning off power with the Power button does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
