precautions, including the following :
• Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for
detailed grounding procedures. Installation
instructions are packed with the washer for the
installer's reference. If the washer is moved to a
new location, have it checked and reinstalled by
a qualified service technician. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock from
this appliance.
• This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60
Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid
floor. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious leak damage.

outlet. Failure to follow these warnings can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The washer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides
the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your washer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury,
fire, electric shock, or death.

not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The washer must be installed and electrically
grounded by a qualified service person in
accordance with local codes to prevent shock
hazard and assure stability during operation.
• The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be
needed to install and move the appliance. Failure
to do so can result in back or other injury.

exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed
to outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious leak damage.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install
the washer in humid spaces. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
