Grounding Instructions - LG SIGNATURE LUWM101HWA Manual Del Propietário

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for
such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or
use an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy clothing, candles or flammable materials on top of the appliance.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.),
gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
• For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, injury to persons, or death.

of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
