YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANTTO US

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the washer.

•Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas

may be produced in a hot water system tlnat has not been used for 2 weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each

for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not allow children to play on or in

the washer. Close supervision of children

is necessary when the washer is used near children.

•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid.

•Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator is moving.

•Do not install or store this washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the Owner's Manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
