To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when using your washer, follow
these basic precautions:
•
Read all instructions before using the washer.
•
Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the IN-
STALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of
the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power
and earth/ground must comply with local codes and be made by
licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself.
•
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
•
Do not add the following substances or textiles containing
traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline,
kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flam-
mable or explosive substances. These substances give off va-
pors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on
fire by itself.
•
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using a washing ma-
chine or combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water fau-
cets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS FLAM-
MABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING
THIS TIME.
•
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the
electrical power source.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervi-
sion of children is necessary when the washer is used near chil-
dren. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabili-
ties, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appli-
ance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
•
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
•
Children less than three years should be kept away unless con-
tinuously supervised.
•
Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if ap-
plicable, is moving.
