Safety Information
Explanation of Safety Messages
Important Safety Instructions
Precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,”
and “CAUTION”), followed by specific instructions,
are found in this manual and on machine decals. These
precautions are intended for the personal safety of the
operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the
machine.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:
W023
DANGER
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
DANGER indicates the presence of a
hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the danger is ignored.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash textiles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
WARNING
WARNING indicates the presence of a
hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage if the warning is ignored.
4. 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.
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.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates the presence of a
hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the
caution is ignored.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing
information that is important but not hazard
related.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.

17. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Maintenance
●
●
Do not leave sterilizing solutions on stainless
steel equipment for prolonged periods of time.
Care of Stainless Steel
●
Remove dirt and grease with detergent and water.
Thoroughly rinse and dry after washing.
When an external chemical supply is used, ensure
no siphoning of chemicals occurs when the
washer-extractor is not in use. Highly
concentrated chemicals can cause severe damage
to stainless steel and other components with the
machine. Damage of this kind is not covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty. Locate the pump
below the washer-extractor’s injection point to
prevent siphoning of chemicals into the machine.
●
Avoid contact with dissimilar metals to prevent
galvanic corrosion when salty or acidic solutions
are present.
●
●
Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to
evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean
of any residues.
Rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when
using abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool
or soft, non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use
ordinary steel wool or steel brushes.
●
If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the
source of the rust may actually be an iron or steel
part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or
screw. Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a
heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners
should be used whenever possible.
●
Remove discoloration or heat tint from
overheating by scouring with a powder or by
employing special chemical solutions.
