Part 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• 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.
• 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 washing machine, turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from
hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or
published user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by
the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a
load to catch fire.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• If you don’t have the proper outlet, consult an electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
WARNING:Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

fire, electrical shock or death.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury,

pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical
shock, or death.
• The washer must be installed and electrically grounded
by a qualified service person in accordance with local
codes, to prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation.

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
!
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
!
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk
of electric shock.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or
solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.
• 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 wash items that are soiled with vegetable or
cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
• 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.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury,
fire, electrical shock, 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.
Follow package directions when using laundry
products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas-
resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not reach into the washer while parts are
moving. Before loading, unloading, or adding items,
push in the cycle selector knob and allow the drum
to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury,
fire, electrical shock, or death.
• 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 appliances.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing
materials after the washer is unpacked.
Children might use them for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets
can become airtight chambers. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
• Keep laundry products out of children's reach.
To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
