not come into contact with water or moisture.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
 This clothes washer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

hazards involved.
 The clothes washer should only be used for washing and rinsing of textiles where
this is indicated on the care label.
