Understanding Washer Safety

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using

your washer, follow basic precautions including the following:

•Read all instructions before using your

washer.

•Do not machine wash or machine dry

items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or

spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, or

other flammable fluids. The fumes can

create a fire hazard or explosion.

Always hand wash and line dry items

containing these materials.

•Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning sol-

vents, kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should

not be used or stored in or near your

washer. Do not add flammable fluidsto

your wash water. These substances

give off vapors that can create a fire

hazard or explosion.

•Do not allow children to operate, play

with, or crawl on or inside your washer.

Supervise children closely when your

washer is used near them.

•Before your washer isremoved from

service or discarded, remove the lidto

prevent accidental entrapment.

oAfter starting a cycle, do not reach into

the basket unless the Cycle Control

Knob is pushed in and all motion stops.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

•If your hot water has not been used

recently (usually 2 weeks or longer),

hydrogen gases may build up in your

water heater and your hot water

pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. To prevent injuryor damage,

before using your washer, turn on all

hot water faucets and allow water to

runfor several minutes. This will

allow gases to escape. Do not smoke

or use any open flame near your

faucet while it is open.

Please ...

•Have only a qualified person install,

repair, or replace parts on washer.

•Maintain washer properly.

•Protect washer from the weather and

keep it where the temperature will

not fall below freezing.

•Install and level washer on a floor

that can support the weight.*

•Connect washer to the correct 3-

prong outlet, electrical supply, water

supply, and drain.*

•Ground washer properly.*

*See the Installation Instructions.

Understanding your responsibilities

• Store detergent, laundry aids and other

materials in a cool, dry place where

children cannot reach them (in a locked

cabinet if possible).

•Read and follow instructionson pack-

ages of detergent and laundry aids,

especially warnings and precautions.

•Do not use chlorine bleach and ammo-

nia or acids (such as vinegar or rust

remover) in the same wash. Hazardous

fumes can form.

•Do not wash or dry items that are

soiled with vegetable or cooking oil.

These items may contain some oil

after laundering. Due to the remaining

oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire

by itself.

•Unplug power supply cord before

attempting to service your washer.

•Do not machine wash fiberglass

materials. Small particles can stickto

the fabrics washed in following loads

and cause skin irritation.
