WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply
with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with the Important Safety Instruction
warnings could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Prevent Fire
• DO NOT wash items that have been
previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene,
cooking oils, waxes, or other flammable
or explosive substances. DO NOT store
these items on or near the washer. These
substances give off vapors or chemical
reactions that could ignite or explode.
• DO NOT put oily or greasy rags or clothing on
top of the washer. These substances give off
vapors that could ignite the materials.
• DO NOT add gasoline, 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 the washer, turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is
flammable; DO NOT smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury,
and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts
of the washer.
• DO NOT continue to use the washer if you
hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing, or other
unusual noises. This could be a sign of
mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or
serious injury. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
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 chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children’s
reach. To prevent personal injury, o bserve
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.
