Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual

and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts

you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety

alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING:'

These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously

injured if you don't follow

instructions.

You can be killed or seriously

injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the

chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are

not followed.

YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANTTO US

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons

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 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.

If the hot water system has not been

used for such aperiod, before using a

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 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

specifically recommended in the Owner's

Manual or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and

have the skills to carry out.
