cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may
ignite or explode. Do not add these substances
to the wash water. Do not use or place these
substances around your washer or dryer during

The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer's
wash and care instructions.
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.
NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to
an off position does NOT disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on
hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a
break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they may need
replacement after 5 years.
Before discarding a washer, or removing it from
service, remove the washer door to prevent
children from hiding inside.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
