– 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, 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, hydro-

gen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. If the hot water system has

not been used for such a period,

before using a 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 supervi-

sion of children is necessary

when the washer is used near

children.

•Before the washer is removed

from service or discarded, re-

move the door.

•Do not reach into the washer if

the 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 Use and

Care Guide or in published

user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills to

carry out.

•See Installation Instructions for

grounding requirements.
