IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
The instructions in this manual and all other literature included with this washer are
not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Good, safe
practices and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating and maintaining
any appliance.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
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.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags and chemicals.
Do not leave the washer door open. An open door
could entice children to hang on the door or
crawl inside the washer.
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.
