Important Safety Information
Protect children
• DO NOT allow children to play on or
in the washer. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the washer
is used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all
appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the washer
is unpacked. Children might use them
for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads or plastic sheets can
become airtight compartments.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury,
observe all warnings on product labels.
• Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the washer
door to prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
washers and dryers are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old washer or
dryer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Contact your State/Provence Energy
Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities or
Conservation Program Office or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old washer
or dryer.
Before you throw away your old
washer or dryer:
• Remove doors
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
Prevent injury
• To prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation, the washer
must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person
in accordance with local codes.
Installation instructions are packed in
the washer for installer’s reference. Refer
