Important Safety Instructions
Save These Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious in-
jury or death to persons when using your washer,
follow these basic precautions:
W023
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION IN-
STRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUC-
TIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/
ground connection of the washer. All connections for water,
drain, electrical power and earth/ground must comply with lo-
cal codes and be made by licensed personnel when required.
Do not do it yourself.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
• Do not add the following substances or textiles containing
traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline,
kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils,
dry-cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other
flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch
on fire by itself.
• 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 mi-
nutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THE
GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN
OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
• 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 elec-
trical power source.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close su-
pervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children. This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.

• Children less than three years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
• Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or agitator, if ap-
plicable, is moving.
• Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts
removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or by-
pass any safety devices.
• Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing
clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied
by the garment manufacturer.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on pack-
ages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poi-
soning or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of chil-
dren at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all
warnings or precautions.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static un-
less recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener
or product.
• Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to agitate or
spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch to permit the washer to
agitate or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the wash-
tub within seconds if the lid is opened during spinning. If the
washtub does not stop when the lid is opened, remove the
washer from use and call the service person.
• 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.
• Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping
the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have
your washer checked by a qualified service person.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-mainte-
nance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS dis-
connect the washer from electrical supply before attempting
any service.
• Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the man-
ufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in or-
der to avoid a hazard.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, re-
move the lid or door to the washing compartment.
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. Observe and be aware of other labels and pre-
cautions that are located on the machine. They are in-
tended to provide instruction for safe use of the ma-
chine. Common sense, caution and care must be exer-
cised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the man-
ufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not under-
stand.
