PROTECT CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close su-•
pervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children. As children grow, teach them the proper,
safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materi-•
als after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them
for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic
sheets can become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent •
personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, •
remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in seri-•
ous personal injuries.
PREVENT INJURY
To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during opera-•
tion, the washer must be installed and electrically grounded
by a qualifi ed service person in accordance with local
codes. Installation instructions are packed in the washer for
installer’s reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for detailed grounding procedures. If the washer is moved
to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a
qualifi ed 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.
