IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF YOUR CLOTHES WASHER

! WARNING: TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSONAL INJURY WHEN USING YOUR WASHER, FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

KEEP ALL LAUNDRY AIDS out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. USE laundry aids only as directed by manufacturer, observing all warnings on container labels. DESTROY THE CARTON AND PLASTIC BAGS after unpacking the washer. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheet can create a chamber with inadequate ventilation. REMOVE THE DOOR to the washing compartment before the washer is removed from service or discarded. 4. DO NOT REACH INTO the washer if the tub or agitator is moving. The washer is equipped with a safety switch for your protection. If action does not stop when the washer lid is opened during the Spin Cycle, disconnect the electrical power to the washer. Do not operate the washer until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. 5. DO NOT TAMPER with the Operating Controls. 6. TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY and damage to the washer, DO NOT repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing. SERVICING should be referred to a qualified service technician. 7. DO NOT WASH FIBERGLASS ARTICLES unless recommended by manufacturer. 8. FLAME RETARDANT FINISHES � improper laundering could remove them. FOLLOW garment manufacturer�s instructions carefully. 9. WHEN MOVING, have the washer checked and properly installed by a qualified service technician.

WARNING
10. DO NOT ADD gasoline, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 11. DO NOT WASH ARTICLES which have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. 12. OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING CLEANING FLUIDS, SPOT OR STAIN REMOVERS, ETC. Products should be labeled �NONFLAMMABLE�. Use according to MANUFACTURER�S DIRECTIONS in a well VENTILATED AREA or outdoors. Thoroughly RINSE ARTICLES by hand before placing them in the washer. Some of these products � rust removers, for example � will damage components and the finish of the washer.

FIRE HAZARD
13. KEEP AREA around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids. 14. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE and under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, BEFORE USING THE WASHER, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, DO NOT SMOKE or use an open flame during this procedure. 15. Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contaminated materials are incompletely washed, a carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load was left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while warm.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WASHER. RETAIN ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 2. PROPERLY INSTALL AND LOCATE in accordance with the Installation Instructions. MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED � See Installation Instructions. SHOULD ANYONE get an ELECTRIC SHOCK from the washer, disconnect electrical power. DO NOT OPERATE until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. INSTALL OR STORE where it will NOT be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather. CONNECT to a properly rated, protected, and sized power supply circuit. See Electrical Requirements. CONNECT to adequate plumbing and drain facilities. HAVE A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN install your washer. 3. TO PREVENT INJURY TO CHILDREN: DO NOT ALLOW children to play inside, on, or with the washer. CLOSE SUPERVISION of children is necessary when using washer. WHEN CHILDREN are mature enough, instruct them in the safe, correct use of the washer.
