IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Protect children
DO NOT allow children to play on or in
the washer. Close supervision 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 materials after the
washer is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can
become airtight compartments.
• 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 serious personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
washers and dryers are still dangerous – even if
they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting
rid of your old washer or dryer, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Contact your
State/Provence Energy Office, Local Electric
and Water Utilities or Conservation Program
Office or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle
for more information on recycling your old
washer or dryer.
Before you throw away your old
washer or dryer:
• Remove doors
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
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.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
• 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 unless specified on
the label.
Refer to
the
Installation sections of
this manual 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.
WARNING
FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. DO
NOT use an adaptor plug or extension cord
or remove grounding prong from electrical
power cord. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire or death.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the washer may cause
serious injury or death. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
