Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this washer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons
when using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal
injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils,
waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These
substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.
ENGLISH
Do not add gasoline, 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. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion,
serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the
washer.
Protect Children
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials
after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent
personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove
the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Injury
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation,
the washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service
person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in
the washer for installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the
electrical power cord of the washer must be plugged into a properly grounded
and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be
removed. Never ground the washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an
extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products.
Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or
death.
• Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the
label.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:
• All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized
servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use
only authorized factory parts.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor. It may be
necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent vibration or movement.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance
from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the
controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the
power supply.
To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are
moving. Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector
knob and allow the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
Note: The instructions appearing in
this Owner's Guide are not meant to
cover every possible condition and
situation that may occur. Common
sense and caution must be
practiced when installing, operating
and maintaining any appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal
injuries.
This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor
will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a
cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually
turned off during this time.
