Important Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions: · Read all instructions before using the washer. · Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installation Manual for the proper grounding of the washer. · 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 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. · 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. · Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to the washing compartment. · Do not reach into the washer if the wash tub is moving. · Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. · Do not tamper with the controls. · 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 you understand and have the skills to carry out. · 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. · Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. · Always disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. · 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 4 16026126 · when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how! To reduce the risk of fire, clothes 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. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified service person. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs. 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. Loading lid must be closed any time the washer is in operational fill, tumble, or spin. Do not attempt to bypass the loading lid switch by permitting the washer to operate with the loading lid open. 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). Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or panels removed. Do not operate the washer with missing or broken parts. Do not bypass any safety devices. 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.
