IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when
installing, operating, and maintaining any
appliance.
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 run appliance while you are out of the
home.
♦ Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
cooking oils, or other flammable or explosive
substances because they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
♦ 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 to the washing
compartment.
♦ 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 controls.
♦ Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
♦ 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 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.
WARNING!
This appliance must be properly grounded.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded, cord-
connected appliance
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 can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel 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.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently
connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
