Important safety instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not run appliance while you are out of the home.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable or explosive
substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is neces-
sary when the appliance is used near children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
• 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 a washing machine or combination wash-
er-dryer, turn on all 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.
Warning!
This appliance must be properly grounded.
This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use com-
mon sense and caution when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.
