SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, CARE, CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precau-
tions, including the following:
y Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
y Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
y Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that
could ignite the materials.
y Do not wash items that are soiled with vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
y Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the
controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
y Do not combine laundry products for use in one load unless specified on the label.
y Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Follow package directions when us-
ing laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.
y Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading, or adding items, press
the START/PAUSE button and allow the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside. Failure
to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
y Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Fail-
ure to comply with these warnings could result in serious injury to persons or death.
y Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious injury to persons or death.
y Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent injury to persons, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious injury to persons or death.
y Remove the lid to the washing compartment to avoid the danger of children or small animals getting
trapped inside before your washer is removed from service or discarded. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury to persons or death.
y Keep hands and foreign objects clear of the lid and latch area when closing the lid. Failure to keep hands
clear can result in personal injury.
