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.
• 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 door 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• 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.

similarly textured rubber-like materials.
