stability during operation, the laundry
center must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person
in accordance with local codes. Instal-
lation 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 quali-
fied service person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage
to 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
extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the laundry center
from the electrical supply before
attempting any service or cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or injury.
