BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precau-
tions, including the following.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this owner’s Manual.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
•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 washer, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes.This will release any accu-
mulated 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 dis-
carded, remove the lid to prevent children from climb-
ing inside.
•Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.
•Do not tamper with controls.
•Keep the area underneath and around your appli-
ances free of combustible materials (lint, paper,
rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing other than as described in this
manual. We strongly recommend that any service be
performed by a qualified technician.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding require-
ments.
• 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.
• Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for
mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
• Turn 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.
• Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children.

objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed
when not in use.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
• WARNING :This product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
• Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. Installation instructions are
packed with the washer for installer’s reference. If
the washer is moved to a new location, have it
checked and reinstalled by a qualified service tech-
nician. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the pos-
sibility of electric shock from this appliance.
• This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly ground-
ed. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
leak damage.
• Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter
or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong out-
let. Failure to follow these warnings can cause seri-
ous injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The washer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
• Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Repair or immediately replace all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
• When installing or moving the washer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• The washer must be installed and electrically ground-
ed by a qualified service person in accordance with
local codes to prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation.
• The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be
needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to
do so can result in back or other injury.
• Store and install the washer where it will not be ex-
posed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to
outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious leak damage.
• Do not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce
the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warn-
ing can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all
industry recommended safety procedures including
the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses.
Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this
manual could result in property damage, injury to
persons or death.
