5. 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.
6. 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. This appliance is not intended for 
use by young children or infirm persons 
without supervision. Young children should be 
supervised to ensure that they do not play 
with the appliance.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or 
discarded, remove the door to the washing 
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash 
drum is moving.
9. Do not install or store the washer where it 
will be exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Use your washer only for its intended 
purpose, washing clothes.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from 
electrical supply before attempting any 
service. Disconnect the power cord by 
grasping the plug, not the cord.
15. Install the washer according to the 
Installation Instructions. All connections for 
water, drain, electrical power and grounding 
(earthing) must comply with local codes and 
be made by licensed personnel when required. 
Do not do it yourself unless you know how!
16. 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. 
17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to 
eliminate static unless recommended by the 
manufacturer of the fabric softener or 
product.
18. 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.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

valve and that fill hose connections are tight. 
CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of 
each wash day.
21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time 
the washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT 
by-pass the loading door by permitting the 
washer to operate with the loading door 
open. 
22. Check washer for water leaks after each use. 
If water is found, turn off the water supply 
and call for service immediately. Don’t use 
washer until it is repaired by an authorized 
service agent.
23. If the washer’s volume or type of sound 
changes from what is normally heard, call an 
authorized service agent immediately to 
prevent possible damage to other 
components.
24. Never start a cycle and leave the property 
without first checking to make sure the wash 
cycle is complete.
