	IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NA
	WARNING - To reduce	the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
	injury to persons when	using your appliance, follow basic
	precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the appliance.

•Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, other flammable, or exlosive substan- ces as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Clo- se supervision of children is necessary when the applian- ce is used near children.

•Before the appliance is removed from service or discar- ded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

•Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flam- mable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Under certain conditions Hydrogen gas may be produ- ced 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 the appliance, 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.

•Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture occurs.

•Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or drum is moving.

•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.

•Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating, and maintaining any applian- ce. Follow basic precaution.

•Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker

or fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency or when servicing required. Have the installer show you and label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical discon- nect box.

•The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodi- cally by qualified service personnel.

•Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of mal- function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistence for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord ha- ving 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-groun- ding conductor can result in a electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the applian- ce is properly gounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
