WASHER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to

persons, or damage when using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.

•

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this

•

user manual. Do not place articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,

•

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances in the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near

•

children. Do not allow children to play on, with, or inside this appliance.

Do not use the washer for commercial clothes washing.

•

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 a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

This appliance must be properly installed and located in accordance

•

with the installation instructions before it is used. Do not store or install this appliance where it will be exposed to

•

temperatures below freezing or exposed to weather, which can cause damage to the appliance.

The appliance must be properly grounded to conform with all

•

electrical codes and ordinances. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

Keep the area around your appliance free from combustible materials

•

such as lint, paper, rags or chemicals. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

•

explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not reach into the appliance if the wash basket, tub or agitator is

•

moving. Do not tamper with the controls.

•

Do not stand on top of the washer.

•

If the power plug or power cord are damaged, contact your nearest

•

service center. Do not use a damaged power plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from

•

the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. NOTE: Turning

disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY

This washer uses a pulsator wash system to gently clean clothes using less water

•

and energy than a traditional agitator washer. Less water produces a concentrated water and detergent solution that

•

aggressively works to loosen soils. Use only High-Eciency detergent. An “HE” logo or the words “High-Eciency”

•

on the detergent label indicate that the detergent is the correct type to use in this washer.

NOTE: Regular detergents will create excessive suds that can damage

washer components, reduce rinse performance, and lead to soap lm buildup that creates mold and mildew. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for the amount of HE detergent to use.

contact a licensed electrician.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to do so can result in death, ﬁre or electrical shock.

ENGLISH

•

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

The power cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, contact a licensed electrician to have one installed.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Suﬀocation Hazard

To avoid danger of suﬀocation, keep plastic bag and other packing material away from babies and children. Do not use this bag in cribs, carriages and playpens. The plastic bag could block nose and mouth and prevent breathing. This bag is not a toy.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or brain damage.

For a grounded, cord-connected washer:

The washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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 a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt whether the washer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washer; if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

For a permanently connected washer:

The washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the washer.
