READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTTSSAAFFEETTYYIINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• 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.
• 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.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the 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
during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your
washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a load to catch fire.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
WARNING : To reduce he risk of fire, elec ric shock, or injury o persons when using he washer, follow basic
precau ions, including he following:
SSAAVVEETTHHEESSEEIINNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONNSS

■Installation clearances
The loca ion mus be large enough o fully open
he washer door.
■Washer dimensions
• Mos ins alla ions require a minimum 4 in.
(10 cm) clearance behind he washer.
■Minimum installation spacing for
recessed area installation.
The following dimensions shown are for he minimum
spacing allowed.
Addi ional spacing should be considered for
ins alla ion and servicing.
• Addi ional clearances migh be required for wall,
door and floor moldings.
• Addi ional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 cm) on all sides of
he washer is recommended o reduce noise
ransfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
■Level floor
• Allowable slope under en ire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed
floor.
• Carpe ing and sof ile surfaces are no
recommended.
• Never ins all he washer on a pla form or weakly
suppor ed s ruc ure.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a
front-loading washer than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame
construction, you may need to reinforce it.
Front-loaders use substantially faster spin
speeds than top-loaders, causing greater
vibration. If the floor is not solid, your washer
will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.
■Power outlet
• Mus be wi hin 60 in. (1.5 m) of ei her side of he
washer. Do no overload he ou le wi h more
han one appliance.
• Time-delay fuse or circui breaker is recommended.
