5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may 

be produced in a hot water system that has 
not been used for two 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 hot 
water faucets and let the water flow from 
each for several minutes. This will release any 
accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS 
FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN 
OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. Close supervision of children is necessary 

when the washer is used near children. This is 
a safety rule for all appliances.

discarded, remove the lid to the washing 
compartment.

or agitator is moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it 

will be exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

11. Do not repair or replace any part of the

13. Use your washer only for its intended

must comply with local codes and be made 
by licensed personnel when required. Do not 
do it yourself unless you know how!

traces of any flammable substances such as 
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, 
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or 
anything containing wax or chemicals such 
as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be 
put into the washer. These flammable 
substances may cause the fabric to catch 
on fire by itself. 

17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to 

eliminate static unless recommended by the 
manufacturer of the fabric softener or 
product.

or dropping the washer can damage safety 
features. If this occurs, have your washer 
checked by a qualified service person.

19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off 

valve and that fill hose connections are tight.

years.

21. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer 

is to agitate or spin. DO NOT by-pass the lid 
switch by permitting the washer to agitate 
or spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the 
washtub within seconds if the lid is opened 
during spinning. If the washtub does not 
stop when the lid is opened, remove the 
washer from use and call the service person.

22. Check washer for water leaks after each use. 

If water is found, turn off the water supply 
and call for service immediately . Don’t use 
washer until it is repaired by an authorized 
service agent.
