Common Questions
8 totalWhat should I do if the washer has not been used for two weeks?
Before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time as the released gas is flammable.
How do I prevent fire hazards with my washer?
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids to avoid a risk of death, explosion, or fire. Also, do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it as this can result in similar risks (including cooking oils).
What are the electrical safety precautions I need to follow?
Plug the washer into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Avoid using an extension cord or adapter, and do not remove the ground prong from the plug; failure to comply can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
How should I install the washer to ensure safety?
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to weather. The appliance's location must also follow grounding requirements as specified in Installation Instructions.
How do I properly wash a mixed load of clothing?
For a mixed load, include up to eight T-shirts, four pillowcases, and either three sheets from each double size or one king-size sheet. This ensures clothes are washed thoroughly but not overloaded.
What safety measures should be taken when children are near the washer?
Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near them. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
