appliance and keep them out of the reach of children.
•Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather.
• This appliance must be connected to proper electrical outlet with
the correct electrical supply.
• Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and
fire. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you
do not have a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall,
have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame

POSITION AND LEVEL THE WASHER
IMPORTANT: Because the drum of this washer spins at very high speeds, up to
1,200 RPM, the washing machine must rest firmly on a solid surface
to minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement. This washer is
equipped with four adjustable feet to compensate for an uneven floor.
1. Move the washer into location and position it where it will be used.
2. Level the washer from side to side and front to back. Make sure that all four feet
are firmly in contact with the floor and the washer rests solidly in position.
3. Leveling feet can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to extend (raise the
washer) or counterclockwise to retract (lower the washer).
4. When the washer is level, use a wrench to securely tighten all four locknuts
against the bottom of the washer cabinet.
IMPORTANT:Do not replace height adjustable feet with casters.
