Safety Information

Precautionary statements (“DANGER”, “WARNING”

and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,

are found in this manual and on machine decals. These

precautions are intended for the personal safety of the

operator, user, servicer and those maintaining the

machine.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”

and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT”is used

to inform the reader of specific procedures where

minor machine damage will occur if the procedure

is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE”is used to communicate

installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the

Installation Manual for the proper grounding of

the washer.

3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. 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.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two 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 or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is

flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is

moving.

DANGER indicates the presence of a

hazard that will cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the danger is ignored.

DANGER

WARNING indicates the presence of a

hazard that can cause severe personal

injury, death, or substantial property

damage if the warning is ignored.

WARNING

CAUTION indicates the presence of a

hazard that will or can cause minor

personal injury or property damage if the

caution is ignored.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

serious injury or death to persons when

using your washer, follow these basic

precautions:

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or

attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that the user understands and has the

skills to carry out.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power source.

13. Use washer only for its intended purpose,

washing textiles.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the Installation

Instructions. All connections for water, drain,

electrical power and grounding must comply

with local codes and be made by licensed

personnel when required.

16. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have washer checked by a qualified

service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT

bypass the loading door switch by permitting the

washer to operate with the loading door open.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep

them out of the reach of children at all times

(preferably in a locked cabinet).

23. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the textile manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards

and/or panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.

27. Failure to install, maintain and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTE: The WARNINGS and IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this

manual are not meant to cover all possible

conditions and situations that may occur. Common

sense, caution and care must be exercised when

installing, maintaining or operating the washer.

Any problems or conditions not understood should be

reported to the dealer, distributor, service agent or the

manufacturer.
