IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■  
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.   
 
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 or lid.
 
 
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is 
moving.
 
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to 
the weather.
 
Do not tamper with controls.
 
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any 
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in 
published user-repair instructions that you understand and 
have the skills to carry out.
 
See “Electrical Requirements” for grounding instructions.
WARNING:
 
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions, 
including the following:
Pliers that open to 1
⁹⁄₁₆" (3.95 cm)
