dangers as fire, electrical shock, burns,
and personal injury.
• Read all instructions before using
your washer.
• Do not machine wash or machine dry
items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or

hand wash and line dry items containing
these materials.
• 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.

with, or crawl on or inside your washer.
Supervise children closely when your

• Before your washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the lid to

•After starting a cycle, do not reach into
the basket unless the Cycle Control
Knob is pushed in and all motion stops.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• If your hot water has not been used
recently (usually two weeks or longer),
hydrogen gases may build up in your
water heater and your hot water pipes.
HYDROGEN 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
minutes. This will allow gases to escape.
