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:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and
care guide.
3. This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions (see pages 7-11).
4. Replace immediately worn power cords and loose plugs/power outlets.
5. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.
6. Do not operate your appliance in the presence of explosive fumes.
7. 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.
8. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammables or explosive
substances to the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
9. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.
10. Do not tamper with controls.
11. To reduce risk of injury do not allow children to play in or on the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used
near children.
12. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
13. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in
more then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain
circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance turn on all
the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the
trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric
appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident,
as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.
14. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions that you
understand and have skills to carry out.

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Wiring Requirements:
This appliance must be plugged into at least
15 AMP 120 VOLT, 60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility

it should not be extended more than 8'2".
(Longer extension will result in concurrent water
inflow and outflow.) The diameter of the extension
hose should be the same as the original hose.
Caution: Water drainage hose must not be immersed in water. The original and
