IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
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, injury to persons, or death.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
•
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances,
as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•
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
the washer, turn on all hot 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.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is
used near children.
•
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to prevent children from climbing inside.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed
to the weather or freezing temperatures.
