Important Safety Information

!WARNING

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

1.Read all instructions before using washer.

2.Be sure washer is properly grounded.

3.Do not wash articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Vapors could ignite or explode.

4.Do not add gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to wash water. Vapors could ignite or explode.

5.Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

6.Do not allow children to play on or in washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when washer is used near children, a safety rule for all appliances.

7.Before washer is removed from service or discarded, remove door to washing compartment.

8.Do not reach into washer if wash tub is moving.

9.Do not install or store washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

10.Do not tamper with washer controls.

11.Do not repair or replace any part of washer or attempt any service, unless specifically recommended in user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out.

12.To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or adapters to connect washer to electrical power source.

13.Use your washer only for its intended purpose: non- commercial clothes washing.

14.Always disconnect washer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15.Install washer according to Installation Instructions. All connections for water, drain, electrical power, and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required.

16.To reduce risk of fire, do not use washer to launder clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause fabric to catch fire by itself.

17.Use only fabric softeners or products to eliminate static that are appropriate for automatic washers.

18.Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping washer can damage safety features. If damage occurs, have washer checked by qualified service technician.

19.Replace worn power cords and/ or loose plugs.

20.Loading door must be closed whenever washer is agitating or spinning. Do not bypass loading door switch by permitting washer to operate with loading door open.

21.Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep products away from children at all times, preferably, in a locked cabinet.

22.Never operate washer with guards and/or panels removed.

23.Do not operate washer with missing or broken parts.

24.Do not bypass safety devices.
