IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

The instructions in this manual and all other literature included with this washer are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by

turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

„Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed

to the weather, which could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.

„Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

„Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.

„Do not leave the washer door open. An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer.

„Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with or inside this or any other appliance.
