Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
• Do not run appliance while you are out of
the home.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable or
explosive substances because they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
• Before the appliance is removed from
service or discarded, remove the door to the
washing compartment.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum
is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it
will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user repair
instructions or in published user repair
instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
• 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 a washing
machine or combination washer-dryer, turn
on all 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.
This appliance must be properly grounded.
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
