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:
• Before installation, check
exterior damages. If it has, do
not install.
• Do not install or store the
washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with 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.
• Keep the area underneath and
around your appliances free of
combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Keep small animals away from
the appliance.
• Do not leave the washer door
open.
An open door could entice
children to hang on the door or
crawl inside the washer.
• Never reach into washer while
it is moving. Wait until the drum
has completely stopped.
• The laundry process can reduce
the flame retardant of fabrics. To
avoid such a result, carefully
follow the garment
manufacturer's wash and care
instructions.
• Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive
substances (such as wax, oil,
paint, gasoline, degreasers,
dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.) which may
ignite or explode. Oil may
remain in the tub after a whole
cycle resulting in fire during
drying.
So, do not load oiled clothes.
• Do not slam the washer door
closed or try to force the door
open when locked. This could
result in damage to the washer.
• When the machine runs high
temperature, the front door
may be very hot. Don't touch it.
• To minimize the possibility of
electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power
supply or disconnect the
washer at the household
distribution panel by removing
the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
