Safety first

ALWAYS unplug the power sup ply cord before attempting to service the washer.

NEVER put flammable fluids (dry cleaning solvents, gasoline, ker osene) into your washer. NEVER use them near your washer.

ALWAYS hand launder or air dry fabrics treated with flammable fluids before putting them into your washer.

NEVER put your hands into the washer until all motion stops. If the lid is opened while the bas ket is spinning, the basket will automatically stop in a few seconds.

DO NOT allow children to operate or play with the washer.

ALWAYS store detergent, laundry aids and other materials in a cool, dry place where children can't reach them - in a locked cabinet, if possible.

ALWAYS read and follow instruc tions on packages of detergent and laundry aids - especially warnings and precautions.

HAZARDOUS FUMES can be formed if chlorine bleach is used in the same wash as ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust remover.

DO NOT machine wash glass fiber materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

SPECIAL CAUTION: If hot water has not been used recently (usu ally twa weeks or longer), explo sive hydrogen gases may build up in the water heater and hot water pipes. To prevent injury or damage, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. This will allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is apen.
