IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not follow
instructions.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic pre-
cautions, including the following.
yUse this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
yBefore use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.
yDo not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
yDo 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.
yUnder 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

OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ONLY DURING SERVICING. SERVICE PERSONNEL - DO NOT CONTACT THE
FOLLOWING PARTS WHILE THE APPLIANCE IS ENERGIZED: PUMP, VALVE, MOTOR, CONTROL.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or servicer 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. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
yUse fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.
yThis washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
yTurn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the machine is to be left for an extended period of
time, such as during vacations.
yDo not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
yPackaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from
children.
yAlways check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed
when not in use.
yDo not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
yIn the event of a gas leak (such as propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the area immediately. Do not
turn any appliance or light on or off. Do not use a ventilating fan. A spark may result in an explosion or
fire.
yDo not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recom-
mended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you under-
