6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with the controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless it is specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. 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.
10. 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 2 weeks or more, before using a washer 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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.

Draining to a Standpipe
Ifyou have a standpipe, the recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in /99 cm. The drain
hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large
enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. You can also drain the washer into a
wash basin or laundry tub. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the
pump, hoses, and other components.

CAUTION
Before installing the water supply hoses, make sure there are
rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new
water hose. Installing the water supply hoses without rubber
gaskets can cause water leakage.
Z_ When you initially install the washer, be sure to use new hoses.
....... Failing to do so may result in a water leakage or overflow and
may damage your property.
ADo not connect multiple water supply hoses together to C
....... increase the length of the supply hose. Hoses connected this
way can leak and the leakage can cause electrical shock. Ifa
hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.
1. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD faucets.
2. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an
additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
Z_ When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten them too tightly or apply
....... tape or sealant to the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the fittings.
After you have connected the water supply hoses to the faucets,
ensure that they are connected correctly by pulling the water supply
hoses downwards
3. Place the unconnected ends of the hoses into a bucket and open
the faucets connected to the two water supply hoses for 10 or 15
seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the
faucets before continuing.
Cold
r Washer

4. Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply
intake connections at the back of the washer.
/_k The water supply hose connected to the HOT faucet must be
....... connected to the HOT water supply intake and the water hose
connected to the COLD faucet must be connected to the COLD
water supply intake.
5. Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them
an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
To ensure correct water usage, connect both the HOT and
COLD water faucets. If either or both are not connected, the
Tap cold (no fill) LED will flash.
Ifyou do not want to use the HOT water supply hose, insert
the water intake cap into the HOT water supply intake hole. In
this case, you must select the Tap Cold option for the water
temperature. Ifyou select the Tap Cold option, all the lamps for
the water temperature options are turned off.
