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. 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.
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

7. Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the lid to the washing
compartment.
8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub or
agitator 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 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.
21. Lid MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is
to agitate or spin. DO NOT bypass the lid switch
by permitting the washer to agitate or spin with
the lid open. A brake will stop the washtub within
seconds if the lid is opened during spinning. If
the washtub does not stop when the lid is opened,
remove the washer from use and call the service
person.
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

Step 2: Wipe Out Inside of Washtub
Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a
detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to
remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.
Figure 3
Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses
Refer to section on Water Supply Requirements
before connecting fill hoses.
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. (This is especially important when
installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building.)
Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from
accessories bag) in water fill hose couplings (two
hoses supplied with washer). Connect fill hoses to
water supply faucets. Then connect the hoses to the
hot and cold valve connections at the rear of the
washer. Refer to Figure 4.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger tight, then turn 1/4 turn with
pliers. DO NOT cross thread or overtighten
couplings.
Figure 4
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.

Step 5: Position and Level the Washer
Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for
installation and servicing.
Place rubber feet on all four leveling legs.
Place washer in position on a clean, dry, and firm
floor. Do not install the washer on carpeting.
Loosen 7/8 inch locknuts and adjust the two front
leveling legs. Once adjusted, tilt the unit forward on
front legs and lower back down into position to set the
rear self-leveling legs.
Washer must not rock. After washer is at desired
height, tighten locknuts securely against bottom of
washer base. If these locknuts are not tight, washer
will not remain stationary during operation.
Improper installation or flexing of a weak floor will
cause excessive vibration.
Do not slide washer across floor once the leveling legs
have been extended, as legs and base could become
damaged.
Verify that washer does not rock.

Electrical Requirements
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
control hood.
Figure 17
120 Volt, 60 Hertz, with 3 Prong Grounding
(Earthing) Plug
The washer is designed to be operated on a separate
branch, polarized three-wire, effectively grounded
(earthed) 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
