Important Safety Instructions ....................................

_k WARNING -- To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance,

2.As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.

3.Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

4.Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the weight.

5.This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instruc- tions for grounding this appliance.

6.To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a.Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line

dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liq- uids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or solids

and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,

gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household clean-

ers, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers,

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

c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that 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 wash-

ing machine or combination washer-dryer,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.

7.Unplug power supply cord before attempting to ser- vice your clothes washer.

8.Do not reach into the appliance if the tumbler is moving.

9.Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

10.Do not tamper with controls.

11.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recom- mended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

12.Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry place where children cannot reach them.

13.Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with veg- etable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

14.Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids

(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

15.Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small

particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

16.Before the appliance is removed from service or dis- carded, remove the door to the washing compart- ment.

17. Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
