5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine 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. The gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. This is a safety

These machines must be securely anchored on a solid,
flat reinforced concrete surface capable of
withstanding the weight of the machine and the
considerable forces generated during the spin/extract
cycle. Surface should be a high quality concrete
(minimum 3500 psi test strength) and at least 305 mm
(12 in.) thickness for all models. The surface shall be
clean, flat and free of irregularities. The pad should be
305 mm (12 in.) larger than the footprint of the
machine on all sides, beveling out towards the bottom
of the pad.
Anchors
The use of “Hilti” brand, or equivalent expansion bolt,
chemical adhesive anchor, or “J” bolts is
recommended for installing washer-extractors.
Mounting
WARNING
• Always mount this machine on a solid,
stable ground floor.
• Never install a hard mount washerextractor on an above ground floor or
over a basement.
• Never use any material between the
machine and floor except gro ut. The use
of rubber pads, neoprene or other
materials will make the installation
unsafe, noisy and will void all
warranties.
W706
On Metal Base
Installation on a raised metal base is not
recommended.
On Concrete
When mounting directly to concrete floor, position
machine being sure to allow for clearances. Mark and
drill holes as dictated by anchoring method and anchor
types used. Reposition machine over holes. Raise
machine 12.7 mm – 19 mm (1/2 in. – 3/4 in.) to allow
for grouting. Install anchors in place but do not
tighten. Using a high quality machinery grout, force
grout between concrete surface and base until all voids
are filled. Before grout has set and become stiff,
carefully lower machine into web grout. When grout is
fully hardened, install lock washers and nuts on
anchors. Tighten nuts in even increments using a
diagonal pattern. After machine has been in place and
operated for one day, retighten anchors in same
manner as before.
Plan the location of the machines. When placing
machines consider the following:
•The loading door is easily accessible to your
workers and does not interfere with other
equipment such as dryers or adjacent washers
(door swings open 180 degrees). Make sure that
the machine does not block emergency exits,
open doors, work traffic paths, etc.
•There is adequate clearance in front of the
machine for workers and laundry carts or to
remove the basket.
•There is clearance behind and above the machine
to remove the rear and top service panels to
safely perform periodic maintenance. Always
check local codes. Refer to Clearances section.
All machine dimensions are subject to manufacturing
tolerances and design revisions. All specifications are
subject to change without notice. If precise machine
dimensions are required for construction, consult the
manufacturer for verification.
All washer-extractors must be mounted using high
strength machinery anchor bolts in 24000 N/m
2
(3500 psi) reinforced concrete. The concrete is to be a
minimum of 305 mm (12 in.) thick over 610 mm
(24 in.) of compacted fill dirt. The pad should be
305 mm (12 in.) larger than the footprint of the
machine on all sides, beveling out towards the bottom
of the pad.
