IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary
when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing or
drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. 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.
10. 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 a washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
