General safety
Never place your machine on a carpet covered floor. A lack of airflow from beneath your
■ ■
machine may cause electrical parts to overheat.
Secure the drain hose into the standpipe or tub to prevent any water leakage and to allow
■ ■
machine to discharge water as required. Ensure that the inlet and drain hoses are not folded,
squashed, or broken when the appliance is pushed into place after it is installed or cleaned.
There may be some water in your machine when you receive it. This is from the quality control
■ ■
process and is normal. It is not harmful to your machine.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents.
■ ■
Never force open the door or use it as a step.
■ ■
Your clothes washer is designed to continue operation in the event of a power interruption.

If damaged, the power cable should be replaced with an identical one obtained from a
