WHEN USING THE WASHER

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 door.

„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.) which 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: Pressing the power button 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 slam the washer door closed. Do not try to force the door open when locked (LOCKED indicator ON). This could result in damage to the washer.

„The washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop

if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool-down period of up to 2 hours, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

WHEN NOT IN USE

„Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure

on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.

„Before discarding a washer, or removing it

from service, remove the washer door to prevent children from hiding inside.

„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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
