Safety

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

nNever reach into the washer while it is moving. Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the lid.

nDo 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.

nDo 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.

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

nTo 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.

nNever attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
