All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:

■  

Read all instructions before using the washer.

■

Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with 
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, 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 
washing machine, 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.
