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, injury to persons, or death.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

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 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 by a qualified electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
