Important Safety
Instructions

 

(continued)

Prevent Injury

 To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the

washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in
accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the washer for
installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding
procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled
by a qualified service person.

 To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical

power cord of the washer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized
3-prong outlet. 

The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never

ground the washer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor
plug.

 Follow package directions when using laundry products.  Incorrect

usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury or death.

Do not  

combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.

Do not

 mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.

 To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:

All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer

unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized
factory parts.

Do not

 tamper with controls.

Do not 

install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

 ALWAYS disconnect 

the washer from the electrical supply before

attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or
injury.

 To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are

moving.  Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle selector knob
and allow the tub to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.

 Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

 This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop

if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down
period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during
this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

 Avoid fire hazard or

electrical shock. Do not use an
adaptor plug or extension cord or
remove grounding prong from
electrical power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire or death.
