WARNING!
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the
HOT water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or
injury by turning on all HOT water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do
this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the HOT water system. This
simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
• The base opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on
a carpeted floor.
• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the
weather.
• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
• Must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint,
paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
• Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the machine has completely stopped
before opening the lid.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing
different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do
not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.
• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully
follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or
disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
NOTE: Pressing Power button to turn off does NOT disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break
or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they may need replacement after 5
years.
• Before discarding a washer, or removing it from service, remove the washer lid to prevent
children from hiding inside.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in
this Owner's Manual, or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
• Do not tamper with controls.
