ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
[] A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a
separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.
[] This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3-prong grounding plug.
[] To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
[] If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
[] Do not ground to a gas pipe.
[] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
[] Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
For a grounded, cord=connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.
WARNING: 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 appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the appliance.

iNSTRUCTiONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Before you start: remove shipping materials.
It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper
operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.
NOTE: To avoid floor damage during installation° set the washer
onto cardboard before moving across the floor.
IMPORTANT:
[] Be sure the foam shipping base has been removed from the
bottom of the washer as directed in the "Remove Shipping
Base and Packing Ring" section.
[] If foam shipping base has not been removed, be sure lid is
secured with tape before laying washer on its back.
[] Removing the foam shipping base is necessary for proper
operation.
REMOVE SHiPPiNG BASE
AND PACKING RiNG
Remove shipping base and packing ring
Place cardboard supports from shipping carton on floor behind
washer for support. Secure the lid with tape. Using two or more
people° tip the washer onto its back and place on cardboard
supports. Remove foam shipping base. Then, set washer back
upright, and remove the tape from the lid so that you can open
the lid and remove the foam packing ring from the washer tub.
NOTE: Keep foam packing ring in case you need to move
the washer in the future.
CONNECT DRAIN HOSE
IMPORTANT: Proper connection of the drain hose helps to avoid
water leakage and damage to your floors. The drain hose is
connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.
Remove drain hose from washer cabinet
Gently pull hose out of back of washer cabinet from top until
end emerges.
iMPORTANT: Do not force excess drain hose back into rear of
washer.
Connect drain hose form
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, connect the drain hose
form. For a floor drain, do not install drain hose form. You may
need alternate parts with separate directions. See "Tools and
Parts" to determine what you may need.
Feed hose into one end of form. Bend hose and feed through
other side, anchoring form on smooth sections of hose. The
hose must extend 4.5" (114 mm) beyond the form.

CONNECT iNLET HOSES
Place drain hose in standpipe
Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of
laundry tub.
IMPORTANT: To keep drain water from going back into the
washer..
Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be
secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

A. Coupling
B. Washer
iMPORTANT: To avoid leaks, check that your water inlet hoses
have fiat washers at both ends. Washer must be connected
to water faucets with new inlet hoses with fiat washers (not
provided). Do not use old hoses. Do not use hoses without
washers.
Connect inlet hoses to water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty. Attach the hose labeled
hot to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is
seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional
two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with the hose labeled cold for
the cold water faucet. Both hoses must be connected for washer
to work properly.
iMPORTANT" Do not overfighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot
water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly.

3. Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub,
drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear.
Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot
water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and the cold
water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
Check for leaks
C
Turn on water faucets to check for leaks from faucet and at
washer connection. A small amount of water may enter washer.
You will drain this in a later step.
f4. Connect inlet hoses to washer
Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve. Screw coupling
by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to tighten couplings an
additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.
Both hoses must be connected for washer to work properly.
iMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on
valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
NOTE: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every
5years. Record hose installation or replacement dates for
future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.

the chance of drain water splashing on the floor.

LEVELWASHER
iMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise
and vibration.
1. Move washer to final location
Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back
and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm
contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, your model may
be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the factory. It wJH be
necessary to adjust the right front foot to level the washer. If
all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may be
needed to level the washer on your floor.
2. Adjust front levelincj foot
Check levelness of washer
Place level here
Check the levelness of the washer. First, place a level on the lid
near the console. Then place the level on the side of the washer
in the crease between the top of the washer and the cabinet.
Not Level LEVEL Not Level
Adjust levelness of washer
For washers with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right
front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot
up to an additional 1 ]/2 turns.
10
If the washer is not level, move
the washer out slightly, tip back
and prop up the front of the washer with a wood block. Adjust
the right front foot by loosening the Iocknut with a 9/16" or
14 mm open-end wrench, then twisting the foot up or down as
needed. After the washer is level, make sure all 4 feet are in
firm contact with the floor by gently rocking it back and forth
and side to side. Adjust the feet if necessary_ then using the
wrench again, turn the Iocknuts counterclockwise on the foot to
tighten to the washer cabinet.
HELPFUL TiP: You may have to adjust the back feet to level the
washer. If you are installing the washer in a tight or hard-to-
reach area, you may have to move the washer out to reach the
feet comfortably. You may wish to lock the back feet before
moving the washer back into place.
IMPORTANT_ If the Iocknuts are not tight against the washer
cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
