Safety Instructions _ 3
WHILE SERVICING
• Check if the power plug and outlet are damaged, flattened, cut or otherwise degraded.
√
If faulty, replace it immediately.
Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
• Completely remove any dust or foreign material from the housing, wiring and connection parts.
√
This will prevent a risk of fire due to tracking and electrical hazard.
• When connecting wires, make sure to connect them using the relevant connectors and check that they are
completely properly.
√
If tape is used instead of the connectors, it may cause fire due to tracking.
• Make sure to discharge the PBA power terminals before starting the service.
√
Failing to do so may result in a high voltage electric shock.
• When replacing the heater, make sure to fasten the nut after ensuring that it is inserted into the bracket-heater.
√
If not inserted into the bracket-heater, it touches the drum and causes noise and electric leakage.
AFTER SERVICING
• Check the wiring.
√
Ensure that no wire touches a rotating part or a sharpened part of the electrical harness.
• Check for any water leakage.
√
Perform a test run for the washing machine course and check whether there is any water leakage through the
floor section or the pipes.
• Do not allow consumers to repair or service any part of the washing machine
themselves.
√
This may result in personal injury and shorten the product lifetime.
• If it seems that grounding is needed due to water or moisture, make sure to run
grounding wires.
(Check the grounding of the power outlet, and additionally ground it to a metallic water
pipe.)
√
Failing to do so may result in electric shock due to electric leakage.
[Running a grounding wire]
- Twist a grounding wire (copper wire) two or three times around the tap.
- If you connect the grounding wire to a copperplate, bury it 75 cm under the earth in a
place with a lot of moisture.
Do not connect the grounding wire to a gas pipe, plastic water pipe or telephone
wire. There is a risk of electric shock or explosion.
