 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk 
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or 
loss of life.
The instructions in this manual and all other literature included with this washer are 
not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Good, safe 
practices and caution 
MUST
 be applied when installing, operating and maintaining 
any appliance.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks 
or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by 
turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical 
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen 
gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
 
Install or store where it will not be exposed 
to temperatures below freezing or exposed 
to the weather, which could cause permanent 
damage and invalidate the warranty.
 
Properly ground washer to conform with all governing 
codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation 
Instructions.

Keep the area underneath and around your
