Safety Information
Explanation of Safety Messages
Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,”
and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing
information that is important but not hazard
related.
Important Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
4. 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.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two 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 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. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.
DANGER indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the danger is ignored.
DANGER
WARNING indicates the presence of a
hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the warning is ignored.
WARNING
CAUTION indicates the presence of a
hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the
caution is ignored.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions: W023

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that the user understands and has the
skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washer to the electrical power source.
13. Use washer only for its intended purpose,
washing textiles.
14. Never wash machine parts or automotive parts in
the machine. This could result in serious damage
to the basket.
15. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect
the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
16. Install the washer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for water, drain, electrical power and
grounding must comply with local codes and be
made by licensed personnel when required.
17. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything
containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and
cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.
These flammable substances may cause the
fabric to catch on fire by itself.
18. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
19. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or
dropping the washer can damage safety features.
If this occurs, have washer checked by a qualified
service person.
20. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
21. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve
and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE
the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
22. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the
washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass
the loading door switch by permitting the washer
to operate with the loading door open.
23. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce
the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of the reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
24. Always follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the textile manufacturer.
25. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or
panels removed.
26. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or
broken parts.
27. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
28. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
washer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The WARNINGS and IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common

Weekly
1. For variable-speed models only, clean the AC
drive box filter(s) weekly or more frequently as
needed:
NOTE: If fan filter service indicator light is on, fan
filter must be cleaned immediately to prevent
possible damage. Thermostat automatically resets
after drive compartment cools down. LED will then
extinguish after cycle run.
NOTE: If filter indicator is ignored, repeated resets
might shorten life of drive. Clean filter regularly to
avoid indicator prompt.
a. Open the top cover.
b. Grasp the filter handle and pull straight up to
remove filter.
c. Wash the filter with warm water and allow
filter to air-dry. As an alternative, the filter
may be vacuumed clean.
IMPORTANT: The control module cover and fan
filter must be in place for the fan to properly cool
the AC inverter drive. Failure to observe this
warning will void the warranty and could lead to
expensive AC inverter drive repair.
2. Check the machine for leaks.
a. Start an unloaded cycle to fill the machine.
b. Verify that door and door gasket do not leak.
c. Verify that the drain valve is operating and
that the drain system is free from obstruction.
If water does not leak out during the first wash
segment, the drain valve is closed and
functioning properly.
Monthly
NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at its
source before performing the monthly maintenance
procedures.
1. Use the following procedures to determine if
V-belt(s) require replacement or adjustment. Call
a qualified service technician in either case.
a. Check V-belt(s) for uneven wear and frayed
edges.
b. For groove-pulley drive systems, verify
alignment by placing a straightedge across
both pulley faces. The straightedge should
make contact with the pulleys in four places.
Refer to Figure 10.

c. For flat-pulley drive systems, verify allowable
distance of belt from edge of pulley as shown
in Table 6 below:
d. For variable-speed models only, verify that
V-belts are properly tensioned by applying a
set force to the belt and measuring the
deflection to determine the belt tension. Refer
to Table 7 for the acceptable belt tension
ranges. Belt tension measurements should be
taken as close to the center of the belt span as
possible. Refer to Figure 11.

NOTE: Hoses and other natural rubber parts
deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
2. Check all hoses for any visible signs of
deterioration. Any hose showing signs of
deterioration listed above should be replaced
immediately.
NOTE: All hoses should be replaced every five
years.
