10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, 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.

12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO

NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to

connect the washer to the electrical power

source.

13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,

washing clothes.

14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

15. Install the washer according to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All

connections for water, drain, electrical power and

grounding must comply with local codes and be

made by licensed personnel when required. Do

not do it yourself unless you know how!

16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have

traces of any flammable substances such as

vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,

flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything

containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and

cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.

These flammable substances may cause the

fabric to catch on fire by itself.

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have your washer checked by a

qualified service person.

19. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by a special cord or assembly available from the

manufacturer or its service agent.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to agitate or spin. DO NOT bypass the

loading door switch by permitting the washer to

agitate or spin with the loading door open. A

brake will stop the washtub within seconds if the

loading door is opened during spinning. If the

washtub does not stop when the loading door is

opened, remove the washer from use and call the

service person.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical

burns, keep them out of the reach of children at

all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed

all warnings or precautions.

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

and/or panels removed.

broken parts.

26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
