IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PREVENT INJURY

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified 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 procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified 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 1 load un- less specified on the label.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.

PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE WASHER

To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:

All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be ex- posed to the weather.

Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor. It may be necessary to reinforce the floor to prevent vibration or movement.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance. Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.

To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or add- ing items, push in the cycle selector knob and allow the drum to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.

This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
