Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other

ammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances to the wash water as they 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, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water fl ow for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open fl ame during this process.

Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

To reduce the risk of fire clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and similar items which have traces of any fl ammable substance such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates, waxes, fats, etc, must not be placed in the washing machine. These items contain

ammable substances which ever after washing may smoke or catch fire.

Never place items in the washer that have been dampened with gasoline or any combustible or explosive substance. Do not wash or dry anything that has been soaked or spotted with any type of oil including cooking oils. Doing so can result in fire, explosion or death.

Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

Pets and children may climb into the machine. Check the appliance before every operation.

The glass door or protector may be very hot during operation. Keep children and pets away from the appliance during operation.

Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not machine wash fiberglass materials such as curtains and window coverings that use fiberglass materials. Small particles may remain in the washing machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads causing skin irritation.

Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and cut off the power cord.

Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
