Safety Information
Explanation of Safety Messages
Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you
will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,”
“WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific
instructions. These precautions are intended for the
personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and
those maintaining the machine.
Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”
and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used
to inform the reader of specific procedures where
minor machine damage will occur if the procedure
is not followed.
NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate
installation, operation, maintenance or servicing
information that is important but not hazard
related.
Important Safety Instructions
(Save These Instructions)
1. Read all instructions before using the washer.
2. Install the washer according to the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the
INSTALLATION manual for the proper
grounding of the washer. 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!
3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
4. Do not add the following substances or textiles
containing traces of the following substances to
the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes,
cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, dry-
cleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners
or other flammable or explosive substances.
These substances give off vapors that could
ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire
by itself.
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. 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.
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation that, if not avoided, will cause
severe personal injury or death.
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could cause severe personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may cause minor or moderate
personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death to persons when
using your washer, follow these basic
precautions:

7. 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 appliance
is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub is
moving.
9. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels
and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper
with the controls or bypass any safety devices.
10. DO NOT operate individual units if they have
been separated from a stack unit.
11. Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care
instructions supplied by the garment
manufacturer.
12. Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning
aids. 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). Heed
all warnings or precautions.
13. Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
14. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the
washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass
the loading door switch by permitting the washer
to operate with the loading door open.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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. ALWAYS disconnect the
washer from electrical supply before attempting
any service.
18. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,
not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
19. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the lid or door to the washing
compartment.
20. 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
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent
or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions
you do not understand.

Before You Start
Tools
For most installations, the basic tools you will need
are:
Figure 1
NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day
(below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room
or area during the cold months, do not attempt to
operate it until the washer has had a chance to
warm up.
NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows
room for attaching exhaust duct.
NOTE: Some moisture in the wash drum is normal.
Water is used during testing at the manufacturer.

Installing the Washer
Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation
Area
Move washer so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of
the desired area of installation.
NOTE: For best performance and to minimize
vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,
sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be
reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a
basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures.
Figure 2
Step 2: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
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.
Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level
floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting,
soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported
structures is not recommended.
Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the
washer is level from side to side and front to back.
NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top
panel. Refer to Figure 3.
If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front
and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling
legs, prop up washer with a wooden block. Refer to
Figure 3. Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust legs until
the washer is level from side to side and front to back
(using a level). Washer should not rock.
Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer
base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not
tight, washer will move out of position during
operation.
H135I
H135I
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.
