FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Avoid fi re hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an

prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this

warning can cause serious injury, fi re or death.

PREVENT INJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during

operation, the washer must be installed and electrically

grounded by a qualifi ed service person in accordance

with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in

the washer for installer’s reference. Refer to

INSTAL-

LATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding pro-

cedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have

it checked and reinstalled by a qualifi ed 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 same load

• Do not tamper with controls.

It may be necessary to reinforce the fl oor to prevent

vibration or movement.

• Do not sit on, step on or stand on the washer. Do not

rest heavy loads on top. The washer is not meant to

support weight.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this

appliance from the power supply before attempting

any user maintenance. Canceling a cycle or turning the

ance from the power supply.

Allow the wash tub to coast to a complete stop before
