6. Replace immediately worn power cords, loose plugs/power outlets.

7. Unplug your washer before cleaning or before making any repairs.

8. If your old washer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the door. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

21. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you do not have a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be properly grounded.

22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using the washer turn on all the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.
