DANGER

WARNING

WARNING:

when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the 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 ammable or explosive substances as they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give o 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, 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.

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons

• 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 lid.

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

• Do not install or store this washer where it will 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 specically recommended in the Owner's Manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• See Page 4 of this booklet for recommended grounding instructions.

approximately 16 inches (406 mm) from the plug end of the shipping strap. Cut this shipping strap at this point.

Check that hose is not twisted or kinked and is securely in place.

Put “hook” end of drain hose into standpipe. Tightly wrap the shipping strap around the standpipe. Push plug into the nearest hole in the shipping strap.

4.Move washer close to nal

position. Put “hook” end of drain hose into standpipe. Estimate length of drain hose needed when washer is in nal position. Hose must be cut exactly to length so “hook” end is held tightly over edge of standpipe. If drain hose is too long, cut straight end of hose. (Do Not cut “hook” shaped

end of drain hose.) DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF

DRAIN HOSE DOWN THE STANDPIPE. THIS COULD CAUSE SIPHONING. See Step 6.
