WARNING—When using this
appliance, always exercise basic
safety precautions, including the
following:
c Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described in
this Use and Care Book.
● This washer must be properly
installed and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your
washer, you can obtain one by
contacting the service location
nearest you.
Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes
and ordinances.
Install or store where it will not
be exposed to temperatures
below freezing or exposed to
the weather.
Connect to a properly rated,
protected and sized power-
supply circuit to avoid electrical
overload.
Connect to adequate plumbing
and drain facilities as described
in the Installation Instructions.
Turn off water faucets when the
washer is not in use to relieve
pressure on hoses and valves, and
to minimize leakage if a hose or
valve should break or rupture.
● When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord is
located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
● We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
● The wiring diagram for this
machine is located inside the
control panel.
To minimize the possibility
of injury:
● Do not mix chlorine bleach with
ammonia or acids such as vinegar
and/or rust remover. Mixing can
produce a toxic gas which may
cause death.
c Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive
substances (such as gasoline,
degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.) which may give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode.
Do not add these substances to the
wash water.
Do not use these substances
around your washer and/or dryer
during operation.
● HYDROGEN GAS is produced
by the chemical action within your
water heater and the gas can
accumulate in the water heater
and/or water pipes if hot water has
not been used for a period of two
weeks or longer. HYDROGEN
GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE
UNDER THESE CIRCUM-
STANCES. So to prevent the
possibility of damage or injury, if
you have not used hot water for
two weeks or more, or move into
a residence in which the hot water
system may not have been used for
some time, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow them to run for
several minutes before using any
electrical appliance which is con-
nected to the hot water system.
This will allow any hydrogen gas
to escape. Of course, since the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame or appliance during
this process.
● Never reach into the washer
while it is moving. Before loading,
unloading or adding clothes, push
in the Cycle Selector knob to
“STOP” position, then wait until
the machine has completely
stopped before opening the lid.
● Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or near
children. Do not allow children to
play inside, on, or with this appli-
ance or any discarded appliance.
Dispose of discarded appliances
and shipping or packing materials
properly. Before discarding a
washer or removing from service,
remove the washer lid.
● Keep all laundry aids (such as
detergents, bleaches, fabric sof-
teners, etc.) out of the reach of
children, preferably in a locked
cabinet. Observe all warnings on
container labels to avoid personal
injury.
● Keep the area around and under-
neath your appliances free from
the accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
● Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to reduce
the possibilityy of slipping.
● To minimize the possibility of
electric shock, unplug this appli-
ance from the power-supply before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning (except the removal and
cleaning of the lint filter). NOTE:
Turning the Cycle Selector knob to
an OFF position does NOT dis-
connect the appliance from the
power-supply.
