Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this washer.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions:
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking
oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could
ignite or explode.
• Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.
• Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
• 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 washer, turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic
parts of the washer.
Protect Children
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
• Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the washer lid to prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
• Test door interlock system daily. Follow instructions on previous page.
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified
service person in accordance with local codes. Refer to INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding
procedures. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the washer, the electrical power cord of the washer must be plugged into a properly
grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the washer to
a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious injury
or death.
- Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
- Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
• To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the washer:
- All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this
INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS manual. Use only authorized factory parts.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance.
Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply.
• To prevent injury, do not reach into the washer while parts are moving. Before loading, unloading or adding items, push in the cycle
selector knob and allow the tub to coast to a complete stop before reaching inside.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
• This washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will
automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed
electrician.
DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply
cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is the
owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it
with a properly grounded three prong grounding type
receptacle.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches
(107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4
inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type so inlet hoses can be connected.
Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square
inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your
water department can advise you of your water pressure.
NOTE:
Drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 58 in. (147 cm)
high standpipe. For higher standpipe use hose P/N 134592701,

than 24 in. (61 cm), install a siphon break kit, available at your
local hardware store.
Models equipped with gravity drain:
1. Floor drain MUST be capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L)

8. Remove the 4 nuts and 6 large washers that attach the 2
yellow shipping braces to the drum and the base. Lift up on
the drum and remove the braces (a yellow ribbon surrounds
the items to be removed). These braces must be removed to
allow the power supply cord to be released from the shipping
ring.
9. Remove the large styrofoam block located under the drum.
Lift up on the drum, tilt the base of the foam block inwards
toward the rear of the washer until free, then pull it out.
10. Remove and discard the yellow ribbon and label from the
front of the washer.
11. From the rear of the washer, carefully pull out the power
supply cord through the hole in the backsheet.
12. Replace the service panel and screws.

shipping support hardware must be reinstalled to prevent
shipping damage.
INSTALLATION
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the
water lines and remove particles that might clog up the water
valve screens.
2. Remove the inlet hoses and rubber washers from the plastic
bag and install the rubber washers in each end of the inlet
hoses.
3. Carefully connect the inlet hose marked "HOT" to the outside
"H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten
another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the other
inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten
by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not
crossthread or over-tighten these connections.
4. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then
tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the
water on and check for leaks.
6
5. On machines equipped with drain pump, form
a U shape on the end of the drain hose, with
the hose pointed toward the drain.
NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe
without forming a U shape, a siphoning action
could occur. There must be an air gap around
the drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause a
siphoning action.
Cable
Tie
6. Carefully move the washer to its final location.
NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift washer.
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly
leveling the washer.
