IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

,WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

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.

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.

These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the washload.

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, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any built up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time, as the gas is flammable .

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 appliance 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

servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions.
