• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags,
etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar. Follow package directions when
using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
• Do not wash laundry that has been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, vegetable or cooking oil, 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.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), do not operate this or any other appliance. Open a
window or door to ventilate the area immediately.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Fix the drain hose securely in place to avoid flooding.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door of the appliance.
• Always check the inside of the appliance for foreign objects.
• Do not allow water, bleach or other liquids to sit in the drum for extended periods. Doing so can corrode
the drum or cause mildew or odors.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your appliance. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to
contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid
stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
Maintenance
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All repairs and servicing must be performed by
qualified service personnel unless specifically recommended in this owner's manual. Use only authorized
factory parts.
• Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before cleaning and attempting any user maintenance.
Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.
• Remove any dust or foreign matter from the power plug pins.
• Do not disassemble or repair the appliance by yourself.
• Remove the door before the appliance is removed from service or discarded to avoid the danger of
children or small animals getting trapped inside.
• Make sure the dispenser drawer or lid is closed at all times when not being filled with laundry products.
• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
Grounding Instructions
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
