important safety instructions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1) Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2) 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 substances, as they give off vapours
that could ignite or explode.
3) Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapours
that could ignite or explode.
4) 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 hot-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.
grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. 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 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.
5) Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
6) Before the appliance is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door.
7) Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or
agitator is moving.
8) Do not install or store this appliance where it
will be exposed to the weather.
9) Do not tamper with controls.
10) Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
