Safety Information

F8208301

7. 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 appliance

is not intended for use by young children or

infirm persons without supervision. Young

children should be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the appliance. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

8. DO NOT reach and/or climb into the tub or onto

the washer, ESPECIALLY if the wash drum is

moving. This is an imminently hazardous

situation that, if not avoided, will cause severe

personal injury or death.

9. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels

and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT bypass

any safety devices or tamper with the controls.

10. Use washer only for its intended purpose,

washing textiles. Never wash machine parts or

automotive parts in the machine. This could

result in serious damage to the basket or tub.

11. Use only low-sudsing, no-foaming types of

commercial detergent. Be aware that hazardous

chemicals may be present. Wear hand and eye

protection when adding detergents and

chemicals. Always read and follow

manufacturer’s instructions on packages of

laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all warnings or

precautions. 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).

12. Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

13. Always follow the fabric care instructions

supplied by the textile manufacturer.

14. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass

the loading door switch by permitting the washer

to operate with the loading door open. Do not

attempt to open the door until the washer has

drained and all moving parts have stopped.

15. Be aware that hot water is used to flush the

supply dispenser. Avoid opening the dispenser lid

while the machine is running.

16. Do not attach anything to the supply dispenser’s

nozzles, if applicable. The air gap must be

maintained.

17. Do not operate the machine without the water

reuse plug or water reuse system in place, if

applicable.

18. 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.

19. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or

dropping the washer can damage safety features.

If this occurs, have washer checked by a

qualified service person.

20. DANGER: Before inspecting or servicing

machine, power supply must be turned OFF. The

servicer needs to wait for at least 3 minutes after

turning the power OFF and needs to check for

residual voltage with a voltage meter. The

inverter capacitor or EMC filter remains charged

with high voltage for some time after powering

OFF. This is an imminently hazardous situation

that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal

injury or death.

21. 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 the user understands and has the

skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the

washer from electrical, power and water supplies

before attempting any service.

22. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,

not the cord. Replace worn power cords and/or

loose plugs. If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a special cord or assembly

available from the service agent.

23. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

24. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this

washer according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can

produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this
