Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or
death to persons when using your washer, follow these
basic precautions:
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 textiles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. The gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or inrm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
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. This is an imminently hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, will cause severe personal injury or death.
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 specically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that the
user understands and has the skills to carry out.
12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or re, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect
the washer to an electrical power source.
13. Use a washer only for its intended purpose, washing textiles.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from the 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.
16. To reduce the risk of re, textiles which have traces of any ammable substances such as vegetable
oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or
chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer. These ammable
substances may cause the fabric to catch on re.
17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
18. Keep washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this
occurs, have washer checked by a qualied service person.
19. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that ll hose connections are tight. CLOSE the
shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to ll, tumble, or spin. DO NOT bypass 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 textile 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.
28. It is recommended that the machine be installed by qualied technicians.
29. Before starting repairs or maintenance, shut off all power and water supplies.
30. To prevent re and explosion:
Keep the area around the machine free from inammable or combustible products.
NOTE: The WARNINGS 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.
Any problems or conditions not understood should be reported to the dealer, distributor, service agent, or
the manufacturer.

To ensure the safety of machine operators, the following maintenance checks must be performed daily:
1. Prior to operating the machine, verify that all warning signs are present and legible. Missing or illegible
signs must be replaced immediately. Make certain that spares are available.
2. Check door interlock before starting operation of the machine:
a. Attempt to start the machine with the door open. The machine should not start with the door open.
b. Close and lock the door and start a cycle. Attempt to open the door while the cycle is in progress.
The door should not open.
If the door lock and interlock are not functioning properly, call a service technician.
3. Do not attempt to operate the machine if any of the following conditions are present:
a. The door does not remain securely locked during the entire cycle.
b. Excessively high water level is evident.
c. Machine is not connected to a properly grounded circuit.
Do not bypass any safety devices in the machine.
WARNING
Never operate the machine with a bypassed or
disconnected balance system. Operating the machine
with severe out-of-balance loads could result in personal
injury and serious equipment damage.

Installation and Connection Instructions
Surface
CAUTION
Ensure that the machine is installed on a level oor of
sufcient strength and that the recommended clearances
for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow
the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.
To prevent damage during transportation, the machine has been
equipped with four red transport brackets to eliminate every possible
movement of the tub.
After the machine has been placed level, take off the service panel and
back panel to remove these transport brackets. (See Label 2)
Important
Removal of the transport safety
The machine must never be activated before removing
these transport brackets. If the machine needs to be
moved from the installed location, rst reinstall the four
red transport brackets.
The machine must be placed on a at, solid surface (metal base, concrete
or solid ground). When using a metal base or with machines with steam
heating, the machine must be anchored on the 4 provided locations (A)
(See Label 1) in the base. (See Mounting Bolt Hole Locations). The height
of the pad should not exceed 203 mm - 8 inch.
The machine must be placed entirely level. For easy maintenance it is
recommended to keep a minimal distance of 600 mm - 23.62 inch between
the wall and the back of the machine.
If several machines are placed next to each another, there should be a
minimal distance of 30 mm - 1.18 inch between each machine.
