WHEN USING THE WASHER

Safety

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.). These substances give off vapors that may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.

The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s wash and care instructions.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the building’s distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

NOTE: Turning the Cycle Selector Knob to an off position, or pressing PAUSE does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual, or in published user- repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

Do not tamper with controls.
