Safety Information
WARNING SIGNAL: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:
- Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the EARTH/GROUND INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper earth/ground connection of the washer.
- Do not do it yourself. • Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.
- Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, drycleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners, or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite, explode, or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
- 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 taps 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.
- User maintenance and cleaning shall not be made by baby childe without supervision.
- If the User’s children are less than 3 to 4 years old should be kept away unless consistently supervised.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you have only 2 inches of water left, then the water pump is functioning at least a little. Are the clothes really wet when its done? If so, the spin cycle is not working; the pump is probably OK. A bad drive belt can cause a weak spin cycle and leave water in the tub.
Check to be sure the water outlet is not blocked. Go under the machine and remove that rubber hose that runs between the tub and the water pump. Check to see if there is something blocking flow from the tub to the pump; socks in the pump intake are common.
If no blockages are found, then its time to replace the water pump or the control panel. Might as well replace the drive belt while you’re under there.
