Safe Servicing Practices

Safe Servicing Practices
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing Practices be
observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices.
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete it in a safe
and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the
circuit breaker to the OFF position, or remove the fuse.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE. SUBSTITUTIONS MAY
DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or GREEN WITH
YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current-carrying conductors. It is
EXTREMELY important that the service technician re-establish 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 adequately 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 re-assembled
