Important Safety Instructions
(Save These Instructions)
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in
the INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer.
3. Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
4. 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.
5. 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 a
washing machine or combination washer-dryer,
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety
rule for all appliances.
7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is
moving.
9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
10. Do not tamper with the controls.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washer to the electrical power source.
13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect
the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
15. Install the washer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All
connections for water, drain, electrical power and
grounding must comply with local codes and be
made by licensed personnel when required. Do
not do it yourself unless you know how!
16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have
traces of any flammable substances such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil,
flammable chemicals, thinner, etc. or anything
containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and
cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer.
These flammable substances may cause the
fabric to catch on fire by itself.
17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or
dropping the washer can damage safety features.
If this occurs, have your washer checked by a
qualified service person.
19. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve
and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE
the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:
W023E

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce
the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep
them out of the reach of children at all times
(preferably in a locked cabinet).
23. Always follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
24. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or
panels removed.
25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or
broken parts.
26. DO NOT bypass any safety devices.
27. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
washer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions may result in conditions which can
produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common

Installing the Washer
Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
Move washer so that it is within four feet of the
desired area of installation.
Figure 5
Step 2: Connect Water Inlet Hoses
NOTE: Refer to section on Water Supply
Requirements before connecting water inlet hoses.
Remove the four plain rubber washers from accessories
bag, and install them according to Figure 6.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve.
NOTE: When installing in newly constructed or
renovated building, it is very important to flush the
lines since build-up may have occurred during
construction.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger-tight, then approximately
1/4 turn with pliers. DO NOT cross thread or
overtighten couplings.
Turn water on and check for leaks. If leaks are found,
retighten the hose couplings. Continue tightening and
rechecking until no leaks are found.

Step 4: Position and Level the Washer
Place washer in position on a clean, firm and
reasonably level floor. Installing the washer on any
type of carpeting is not recommended.
Loosen 7/8" locknut and adjust the front and rear
leveling legs until the washer is level from side to side
and front to back (using a level). Washer should not
rock.
NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top
panel. Refer to Figure 10.
Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer
base using the 7/8" wrench. If the locknuts are not
tight, washer will move out of position during
operation.
NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the
leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base
could become damaged.
NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door
as a handle in the transportation of the washer may
cause damage to the dispenser or door.
Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on
all four leveling legs.
Figure 10
Washers elevated above floor level must
be anchored to that elevated surface,
base or platform. The material used to
elevate the washer should also be
anchored to the floor to ensure that the
washer will not walk or that the washer
can not be physically pulled, tipped or
slid from its installed position. Failure to
do so may result in conditions which can
produce serious injury, death and/or
property damage.

Electrical Requirements
(120 Volt, 60 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
control cabinet.
Figure 15
The washer is designed to be operated on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit
protected by a 15 ampere fuse, equivalent fusetron or
circuit breaker.
The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord
should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot
effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts
AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. Refer to Figure 16
to determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.
DO NOT OPERATE OTHER APPLIANCES ON
THE SAME CIRCUIT. DO NOT OVERLOAD
CIRCUITS!
Grounding Instructions
The washer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The washer is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the washer –if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
D009I
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death, all wiring and
grounding MUST conform with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
customer’s responsibility to have the
wiring and fuses checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the laundry room
has adequate electrical power to operate
the washer.
W227
WARNING
DO NOT OVERLOAD
CIRCUITS
DO NOT USE
ADAPTER
DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or
fire, DO NOT use an extension cord or an
adapter to connect the washer to the
electric power source.
W082
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the washer is
properly grounded.
