IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A
I/V,ARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions
before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable
or explosive substances,
as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• 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. ff the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the washing
machine, turn on all hot 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.
• Do not allow children
to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision
of children
is necessary when
the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing
unless specifically
recommended
in the user-maintenance
instructions
or published
user-repair instructions
that you understand
and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation
Instructions
for grounding
requirements.
• AL WAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied
by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
washer. Items contaminated
with cooking oils may

to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire.

to
eliminate static unless recommended
by the
manufacturer
of the fabric softener or product.
