IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when using

the washer, follow basic precautions, includingthe 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 sol-

vents,-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 ahot 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 the 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 door.

• Do not reach into the washer if the tub or

agitator is moving.

• Do not install or store the washer where it

will be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper witl_ controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the

washer or attempt any servicing unless

specifically recommended in this Use and

Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have

the skills to carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for grounding

requirements.
