To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: ♦ Read all instructions before using the appliance. ♦ Do not run appliance while you are out of the home. ♦ Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Children should be closely supervised when near the appliance. ♦ Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment. ♦ Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. ♦ Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. ♦ Do not tamper with controls. ♦ 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. ♦ 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. ♦ 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.

WARNING!

Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable or explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

WARNING!

This appliance must be properly grounded. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. The plug must be plugged into an appliance outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. NOTE: This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.
