IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce  the risk of fire, electrical shock, or  
injury to persons when  using your appliance, follow  basic 
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gaso-
line, dry cleaning solvents, other flammable, or exlosive 
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or 
explode. 

• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Clo-

se supervision of children is necessary when the applian-
ce is used near children.

• Before the appliance is removed from service or discar-

ded, remove the door to the washing/drying compart-
ment.

• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flam-

mable or explosive substances to the wash water. These 
substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with controls.
• Under certain conditions Hydrogen gas may be produ-

ced 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 appliance, 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. 

• Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and

valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture 
occurs.

• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is

moving.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended 
in the user-maintenance instructions or in published 
user-repair instructions that you understand and have 
the skills to carry out.

• Do not use fabric softeners or product to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric 
softener or product.

• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

• Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied

when installing, operating, and maintaining any applian-
ce. Follow basic precaution.

• Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker

or fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or 
when servicing required. Have the installer show you and 
label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical discon-
nect box.

• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodi-

cally by qualified service personnel.

• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to 
a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

• Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of mal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of 
electric shock by providing a path of least resistence for 
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord ha-
ving an equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-groun-
ding conductor can result in a electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative 
or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the applian-
ce is properly gounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will 
not fit outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 
electrician.
