•  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.

discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from 

climbing inside.

exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

•  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 individual.

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.

w

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk 

of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appli-

ance 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, 

electrical shock, or death.
