Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable or explosive substances as
they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid of the washing
or drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
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
specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

Safety information
9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable 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 ow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not
smoke or use an open ame during this time.
Critical installation warnings
WARNING
Plug the power cord into an AC 120 V / 60 Hz/wall socket rated at 15 amps or higher. Use

Basic location requirements
Electrical
• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit
breaker.
• Individual branch circuit serving only
your Washer is recommended.
• Your washer is equipped with a power
cord.
CAUTION
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for this
appliance.
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power
cord having a three-prong grounding plug
for use in a properly installed and grounded
outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING
An improperly connected equipment-
grounding conductor can increase the risk
of electrical shock. Check with a qualied
electrician or serviceman if you are not sure
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it does not t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
Important safety precautions
To prevent unnecessary risk of re,
electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring
and grounding must be done in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/
FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local
codes and ordinances. It is the personal
responsibility of the appliance owner to
provide adequate electrical service for this
appliance.
CAUTION
Never connect the ground wire to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly ll your Washer in the proper
amount of time, water pressure of 20 to
116psi (137 to 800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause
water valve failure, or may not allow the
water valve to shut off completely, or may
extend the ll time beyond what your
Washer controls allow, causing your Washer
to turn off. A time limit is built into the
controls to prevent ooding in your home if
a hose becomes loose.

English 17
Installation
The water faucets must be within 4 feet
(122 cm) to the back of your Washer to
match the inlet hoses provided with your
Washer.
NOTE
Accessory inlet hoses are available in
various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for
faucets that are further away from the back
of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
• Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not
in use.
• Periodically check that there is no
leakage from the water inlet hose
ttings.
WARNING
Check all connections at the water valve and
faucet for leaks
Drain facility
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. The drain hose is attached to
the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install
your washer on a solidly constructed oor.
Wood oors 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.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearances for closet and alcove
installations:
Sides 1 in /
25 mm
Closet
front
2 in /
51 mm
Rear 6 in /
152 mm Top 21 in / 533 mm
If the washer and dryer are installed
together, the closet front must have at least
a 72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening.
Your washer alone does not require a
specic air opening.
