WARNING - To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to per-
sons while using your appliance, fol-
low basic safety precautions, includ-
ing the following:
Read all instructions before using
the appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction or break-
down, 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 hav-
ing 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 con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electri-
cian or serviceman 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 wash articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive sub-
stances, as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode. 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 the washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several min-
utes. This will release any built up hy-
drogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
Do not allow children to play on or
in the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when the appliance is
used near children.
Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appli-
ance 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 ser-
vicing unless specifically recom-
mended in these Operating Instruc-
tions.
