WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons while using your appliance
follow basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor may result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable substances. These articles
give off vapors that could ignite or
explode. Do not add these items to the
wash load.
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,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes before using the washing
machine. This will release any built-up
hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time, the gas is
flammable.
Before the appliance is removed
for service or discarded, remove
the door.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
Do not tamper with
the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in these operating
instructions.
