To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or
injury when using your appliance, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, and other
ammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other ammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
4. 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 a washing machine, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water ow from
each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
ammable do not smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
6. Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or
agitator is moving.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specically recommended in the user-
maintenance instructions or in published user-
