Safety first
ALWAYS unplug the power sup­
ply cord before attempting to
service the washer.
NEVER put flammable fluids (dry­
cleaning solvents, gasoline, ker­
osene) into your washer. NEVER
use them near your washer.
ALWAYS hand launder or air dry
fabrics treated with flammable
fluids before putting them into
your washer.
NEVER put your hands into the
washer until all motion stops. If
the lid is opened while the bas­
ket is spinning, the basket will
automatically stop in a few
seconds.
DO NOT allow children to
operate or play with the washer.
ALWAYS store detergent, laundry
aids and other materials in a
cool, dry place where children
can't reach them - in a locked
cabinet, if possible.
ALWAYS read and follow insfruc-
tions on packages of detergent
and laundry aids - especially
warnings and precautions.
POISON GAS can be formed if
chlorine bleach is used in the
same wash as ammonia or acids
such as vinegar or rust remover.
DO NOT machine wash glass
fiber materials. Small particles
can stick to fabrics washed in
following loads and cause skin
irritation.
SPECIAL CAUTION: If hot water
has not been used recently (usu­
ally two weeks or longer), flam­
mable hydrogen gases may build
up in the water heater and hot
water pipes. To prevent injury or
damage, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow water to run
for several minutes. This will
allow gases to escape. Do not
smoke or use any open flame
near the faucet while it is open.
