We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING." These words mean:

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the
washer.
•
Do not wash 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.
•
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning sol-
vents, or other flammable, or explosive
substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
•
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 the wash-
ing machine, turn on all hot 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.
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
