IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Ƀ
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Ƀ
Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
Ƀ
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.
Ƀ
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, 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.
Ƀ
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision
of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.
Ƀ
Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door.
Ƀ
Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
Ƀ
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather.
Ƀ
Do not tamper with controls.
Ƀ
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.

Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
