Safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1.Read all instructions carefully before using the washer. Retain all instructions for future reference.

2.Properly install and locate in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

Must be properly grounded-see Installation Instructions.

Should anyone get an electric shock from the washer, disconnect electrical power. Do not operate until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.

Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.

Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit. See Electrical Requirements.

Connect to adequate plumbing and drain facilities.

Have a qualified service technician install your washer.

3.To prevent injury to children:

Do not allow children to play inside, on, or with the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when using the washer.

When children are mature enough, instruct them in the safe, correct use of the washer.

Keep all laundry aids out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Use laundry aids only as directed by the manufacturer observing all warnings on container labels.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the washer. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheet can create a chamber with inadequate ventilation.

Remove the door to the washing compartment before the washer is removed from service or discarded.

4.Do not reach into the washer if the tub or agitator is moving. The washer is equipped with a safety switch for your protection. If action does not stop when the washer lid is opened during the spin cycle, disconnect the electrical power to the washer. Do not operate the washer until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.

5.Do not tamper with the operating controls.

6.To prevent personal injury and damage to the washer, do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing. Servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

7.Do not wash fiberglass articles unless recommended by manufacturer.

8.Flame resistant finishes – improper laundering could remove them. Follow garment manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

9.When moving, have the washer checked and properly installed by a qualified technician.

10.Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

11.Do not allow pets to be inside, on, or in front of the washer.
