IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
l Read all instructions before using
your washer.
l Do not machine wash or machine dry
items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or
spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, or
other flammable fluids. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion. Always
hand wash and line dry items containing
these materials.
l Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be
used or stored in or near your washer. Do
not add flammable fluids to your wash
water. These substances give off vapors
that can create a fire hazard or explosion.
l Do not allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl on or inside your washer.
Supervise children closely when your
washer is used near them.
l Before your washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the lid to
prevent accidental entrapment.
*After starting a cycle, do not reach into
the basket unless the Cycle Control
Knob is pushed in and all motion stoos.
l If your hot water has not been used re-
cently (usually 2 weeks or longer), hydro-
gen gases may build up in your water
heater and your hot water pipes. HY-
DROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To
prevent injury or damage, before using
your washer, turn on all hot water faucets
and allow water to run for several min-
utes. This will allow gases to escape. Do
not smoke or use any open flame near
your faucet while it is open.
