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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These

words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING:

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 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.

� 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, 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 allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is

used near children.

� Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door.

� Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator 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-

maintenance instructions or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry

out.
