IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric 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 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 2 weeks

or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. 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.

■

Risk of Suffocation and Injury from Entrapment: Do not allow

children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision

of children is necessary when the appliance is used near

children.

■

Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door.

■

Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is

moving.

■

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

to the weather.

■

Do not tamper with controls.

■

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 replacement parts that have not been

recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at

home using a 3D printer).

■

See the Installation Instructions for grounding requirements
