• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper,
rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• 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.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage
the finish.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, vegetable or cooking oil, 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.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.) do not operate this or any other appliance.
Open a window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Fix the drain hose securely in place to avoid flooding.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the lid (door) of the appliance.
• Keep hands and foreign objects clear of the lid (door) and latch area when closing the lid (door).
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
• Do not allow water, bleach or other liquids to sit in the tub for extended periods. Doing so can
corrode the drum or cause mildew or odors.
MAINTENANCE
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed
by qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended in this owner's manual. Use only
authorized factory parts.
• Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before cleaning and attempting any user
maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the
power supply.
• Remove any dust or foreign matter from the power plug pins.
• Do not disassemble or repair the appliance by yourself.
• Remove the lid (door) before the appliance is removed from service or discarded to avoid the danger
of children or small animals getting trapped inside.
• Make sure the dispenser drawer or lid (door) is closed at all times when not being filled with laundry
products.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
