Important Safety Instructions
(Save These Instructions)
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper 
grounding of the washer.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not 
been used for such a period, before using a 
washing machine or combination washer-dryer, 
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water 
flow from each for several minutes. This will 
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas 
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame 
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when 
the washer is used near children. This is a safety

discarded, remove the door to the washing 
compartment.
