BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this owner’s Manual.
•
Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
•Do not wash articles 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.
•
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 a period, before using
the washer, 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 to prevent children from climbing inside.
•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed
to the weather or freezing temperatures.
•Do not tamper with controls.
•
Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,
chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt
any servicing other than as described in this manual. We
strongly recommend that any service be performed by a
qualified technician.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.
•
ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the
garment manufacturer.
•
Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a
chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.
•
Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile
installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.
•
Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the
machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as
during vacations.
•
Do not use to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a
risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.
•
Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects
before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in use.
•
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
•
WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.

(ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
•
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock from this appliance.
•
This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
•
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
When installing or moving the washer, be careful not to
pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
•
The washer must be installed and electrically grounded by
a qualified service person in accordance with local codes to
prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation.
•
The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be needed
to install and move the appliance. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury.
•
Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed
to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor
weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious leak damage.
•
Do not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce the risk
of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all industry
recommended safety procedures including the use of long
sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of
the safety warnings in this manual could result in property
damage, injury to persons or death.
• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged,
malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or
broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer
at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse
or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, CARE, CLEANING, AND DISPOSAL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
•
Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents
to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.
•
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the
washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite
the materials.
•
Do not wash 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.
•
Disconnect this appliance from the power supply before
attempting any user maintenance. Turning the controls to
the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from
the power supply. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
Do not combine laundry products for use in one load unless
specified on the label.
•
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such
as vinegar. Follow package directions when using laundry
products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas,
resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.
Before loading, unloading, or adding items, press the START/
PAUSE button and allow the drum to coast to a complete
stop before reaching inside. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
•
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow, teach them the
proper, safe use of all appliances. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in serious injury to persons or
death.
•
Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing materials
after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic
sheets can become airtight chambers. Failure to comply
with these warnings could result in serious injury to persons
or death.
•
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent
injury to persons, observe all warnings on product labels.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious
injury to persons or death.
•
Remove the door to the washing compartment to avoid the
danger of children or small animals getting trapped inside
before your washer is removed from service or discarded.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury to persons or
death.
•
Keep hands and foreign objects clear of the lid and latch area
when closing the lid. Failure to keep hands clear can result
in personal injury.
