• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
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.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in
serious personal injuries or death.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packing
materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might
use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries or death.
Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To
prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on
product labels. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal injuries.
Remove the lid to the washing compartment to avoid
the danger of children or small animals getting
trapped inside before your washer is removed from
service or discarded. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to
follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire,
electrical shock, or death.
