1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having
moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this
appliance safely, the operator should become familiar
with the instructions for operation of the appliance and
always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the
weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug
the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not
grounded adequately and in accordance with local and
national codes. See installation instructions for ground-
ing this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash items 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. Hand wash and line dry any items contain-
ing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning sol-
vent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or
solids, should not be placed in the washer until all
traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have
been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners,
some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
b. 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.
c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. 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 hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro-
gen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or
use an open flame during this time.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
8. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front
of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when
the appliance is used near children and pets.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
in published user-repair instructions that you under-
stand and have the skills to carry out.
11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service
your washer.
12. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is
removed, it must be replaced by pushing down com-
pletely and the locking screw tightened before the wash-
er is operated.
13. Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.
14. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with vegetable
or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after
laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may
smoke or catch fire by itself.
15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such
as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.
16. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small parti-
cles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and
cause skin irritation.
17. Before the appliance is removed from service or dis-
carded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
18. Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over
time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.
