IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not continue to use the laundry center if you hear
squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises.
This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead
to fi re or serious injury. Contact a qualifi ed technician
immediately.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to
the rubber or plastic parts of the laundry center.
PROTECT CHILDREN
• Do not allow children to play on or in the laundry cen-
ter. 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 mate-
rials after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might
use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bed-
spreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To pre-
vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product
labels.
• Before the laundry center is removed from service or
discarded, remove the washer door to prevent acciden-
tal entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries.
PREVENT INJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during
operation, the laundry center 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 laundry center 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 laundry
center, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be
plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong
outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed.
Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an ex-
tension cord or an adaptor plug.
