SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES

To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servic-

ing Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe

practices:

1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you doubt your ability to complete it in a

safe and satisfactory manner.

2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:

•

Remove power cord from electrical outlet, trip circuit breaker to the OFF

position, or remove fuse.

•

Turn off gas supply

•

Turn off water supply

3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.

4. Use The Correct Replacement Parts Cataloged For This Appliance. Sub-

stitutions May Defeat Compliance With Safety Standards Set For Home

Appliances.

5. GROUNDING: The standard color code for safety ground wires is GREEN, or

GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. DO NOT use ground leads as current

carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician

reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so

will create a hazard.

6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:

• All electrical connections are correct and secure.

• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges,

high-temperature components, and moving parts

• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are ad-

equately spaced away from all metal parts and panels

• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely

connected

• All panels are properly and securely reassembled
