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 two 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.
• 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.

• Packaging material can be dangerous for children. 

There is a risk of suffocation. Keep all packaging  

from children.

• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign 

objects before loading laundry. Keep the door closed 

when not in use.
