WASHER SAFETY  
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.  
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all  
safety messages.  
This is the safety alert symbol.  
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or  
“WARNING.” These words mean:  
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
follow instructions.  
DANGER  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
follow instructions.  
WARNING  
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.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic  
precautions, including the following:  
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close  
supervision of children is necessary when the washer  
is used near children.  
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.

moving.  
Do not install or store the washer where it will be  
exposed to the weather.  
Do not tamper with controls.  
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  
washing 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.  
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or  
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended  
in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair  
instructions that you understand and have the skills to  
carry out.  
See Installation Instructions for grounding  
requirements.
