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.Theseflammablesubstancesmay 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
WARNING
(continued)

4685945
21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time
the washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT
by-pass the loading door switch by permitting
the washer to operate with the loading door
open.
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 by-pass 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:TheWARNINGandIMPORTANTSAFETY
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.

Electrical Requirements . . .
(120 Volt, 60 Hertz with 3-Prong Grounding Plug)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the control
cabinet.
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.
NOTE:Haveaqualifiedelectriciancheck thepolarity
ofthewallreceptacle.Ifavoltagereadingismeasured
other than that illustrated, the qualified electrician
should correct the problem.
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
D009IE1A
DO NOT OVERLOAD CIRCUITS
DO NOT USE ADAPTER
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
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. W216

Water Supply Requirements . . .
NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard
3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO
NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON
CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily
accessible to permit turning them off when washer is
not being used.
Water Temperature
Cold:
Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80°
Fahrenheit, 16° to 27° Celsius.
Hot:
Recommended hot water temperature is 120° to 140°
Fahrenheit, 49° to 60° Celsius.
Warm:
Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water temperature
is dependent upon the water temperature and the pressure
of both the hot and cold water supply lines.)
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn off
water supply whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with
the washer) are not long enough for the installation.
Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Inlet Hose (8 foot) (2.44m)
No. 20618 Inlet Hose (10 foot) (3.05m)
Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure
measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets (see illustration
below).
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 and before using the washer, 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. W029
