WHEN USING THE WASHER

Never reach into washer while
it is moving. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped.
Do not mix chlorine bleach
with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar and/or rust
remover. Mixing different
chemicals can produce a toxic
gas which may cause death.
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.
Do not add these substances
to the wash water. Do not use
or place these substances
around your washer or dryer
during operation.
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.
Do not slam the washer door
closed or try to force the door
open when locked (Door Lock
light ON). This could result in
damage to the washer.
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

appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing
or broken parts, including a
damaged cord or plug.
The washer is equipped with
an electrical overload
