Safety Precautions
4
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following sections.
• Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner's Manual.
• This washer must be properly
installed and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
If you did not receive an
Installation Instructions sheet,
you can obtain one by calling,
toll-free 800-361-3400.
— Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
— Install or store where it will not be
exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to the weather.
— Connect to a properly rated, pro-
tected and sized power supply cir-
cuit to avoid electrical overload.
— Connect to adequate plumbing
and drain facilities as described
in the Installation Instructions.
• Turn off water faucets when the
washer is not in use to relieve
pressure on hoses and valves and
to minimize leakage if a hose or
valve should break or rupture.
• Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Owner's
Manual or in published user-
repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
• When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord
is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Keep all laundry aids (such
as detergents, bleaches, fabric
softeners, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Keep the area around and
underneath your appliances
free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
