Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.

3.Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

4.Install and level washer on a floor that can support the weight.

5.This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not ground- ed adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6.To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive sub- stances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning sol- vent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gaso- line, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b. 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.

c.Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro- duced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine or combina- tion washer-dryer, 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.

7.Do not reach into the appliance if the agitator is moving.

8.Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

9.Do not tamper with controls.

10.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user repair instructions that you under- stand and have the skills to carry out.

11.Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washer.

12.The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down com- pletely and the locking screw tightened before the wash- er is operated.

13.Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.

14.Do not wash or dry 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.

15.Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

16.Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small parti- cles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

17.Before the appliance is removed from service or discard- ed, remove the door to the washing compartment.

18.Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.
