Washer Safety - Maytag MHN33PD Installation Instructions Manual

The washer shall be disconnected from its power source during service and when replacing parts. If the removal of plug is
foreseen, it shall be clearly indicated that the removal of the plug has to be such that an operator can check from any of the
points to which they have access that the plug remains removed.
If this is not possible, due to the construction of the washer or its installation, a disconnection with a locking system in the
isolated position shall be provided.

following:

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water fl ow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or use an open
fl ame during this time.

remove the door or lid.

the weather.

servicing unless specifi cally recommended in this manual or
