WASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will fol;ow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol,

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions,

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic

precautions, includingthe following:

• Read all instructions before using the washer.

• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, 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. Ifthe hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before using the

washing machine, 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 or lid.

• Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

• Do not install or store the washer where itwill be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructionsthat you understand and have the skillsto

carry out.

• See Installation Instructionsfor grounding requirements.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
