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 may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician 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 allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

~Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the wash load.

~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, the gas is flammable.

~Before the appliance is removed for 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.
