WARNING
30. CONTROL PANEL OVERLAY
Front Control Washers
IMPORTANT: Due to the sensitivity of the
electronic control, careful handling is required. As a
precautionary measure, we recommend using a
ground wrist strap when handling the electronic
control. Wrist strap, cord and alligator clip are
designed to carry away any electrostatic charge
from your body and to direct charge to an available
ground. By using this static protection device,
potential electrostatic discharge problems
associated with handling of electronic control will
be minimized. Always handle electronic control by
its metal edges. If a wrist strap is not available,
touch washer while it is plugged in before handling
control to dissipate any charge.
