Important Safety Instructions
Recognize safety symbols, words and labels
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in the
Use and Care Guide, Installation Instructions and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a WARN-
ING or CAUTION based on the risk type as described below:
WARNING This symbol alerts you to situations that
may cause serious body harm, death or
property damage.
CAUTION This symbol alerts you to situations that may
cause bodily injury or property damage.
Save these instructions for
future reference.
PREVENT FiRE
• Do not wash items that have been previously
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils,
waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near
the washer. These substances give off vapors or
chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top
of the washer. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, 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 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
the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or
use an open flame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injuryand/
or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the
washer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
* Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all ap-
pliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other pack-
ing materials after the washer is unpacked. Chil-
dren might use them for play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can
become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach.
To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings
on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the washer door to prevent
accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.

Safety
important Safety instructions, continued
PREVENTINJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability
during operation, the washer must be installed
and electrically grounded by a qualified service
person in accordance with local codes. Instal-
lation instructions are packed in the washer for
installer's reference. Refer to iNSTALLATiON
iNSTRUCTiONS for detailed grounding proce-
dures. If the washer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified
service person.
To prevent personal injuryor damage to the
washer, the electrical power cord of the washer
must be plugged into a properly grounded and
polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding
prong must never be removed. Never ground the
washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry
products. Incorrect usage can produce poison-
ous gas - resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in 1
load unless specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar.
PREVENTINJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
WASHER
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to
the washer:
All repairs and servicing must be performed by
an authorized servicer unless specifically rec-
ommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only
authorized factory parts.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid
floor. It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to
prevent vibration or movement.
Do not sit on, step on or stand on the washer.
Do not rest heavy loads on top. The washer is
not meant to support weight.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect
this appliance from the power supply before
attempting any user maintenance. Turning the
controls to the OFF position does not disconnect
this appliance from the power supply.
To prevent injury,do not reach intothe washer
while parts are moving. Before loading, unload-
ing or adding items, push inthe cycle selector
knob and allow the drum to coast to a complete
stop before reaching inside.

Operatin Instructions
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds
from your new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain
hose to carry water from the washer to the
stand pipe of your home. You will hear water
flowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal
part of the operation of the washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a
water flowing sound. This normal sound will
vary slightly based on the water pressure in
your home.
C. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a
door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be a
clicking sound as the washer door is being locked
or unlocked.
D. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with
a high velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear
humming and gurgling sounds as water is
pumped from the washer. Both of these sounds
are normal and indicate that your pump is
functioning correctly.
E. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used
to drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract
water from your load. You will hear a sound
associated with these higher spin speeds. This
sound is normal and will vary slightly as the spin
speed varies with load size and cycle selected.

• Separate white, light and colorfast items
from dark and non-colorfast items.
Separate items that shed lint from items
that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and
corduroy items will pick up lint from towels,
rugs, and chenille bedspreads.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled items.
Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate
items from durable items.
Do not machine wash items containing fiber-
