WASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't imrnediately
follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

includingthe following:

[] 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=cbaning solvents, 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

[] A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a
separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.

[] This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a

3-prong grounding plug.

[] To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

[] If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate.
[] Do not ground to a gas pipe.
[] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.
[] Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

For a grounded, cord=connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead

on the appliance.

LEVELWASHER

iMPORTANT: Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise
and vibration.

1. Move washer to final location

Move the washer to its final location. Rock the washer back
and forth to check whether all four feet are stable and in firm

contact with the floor. If the washer rocks, your model may

be one that comes with 3 feet preset at the factory. It wJH be
necessary to adjust the right front foot to level the washer. If
all 4 feet were preset at the factory, minor adjustments may be
needed to level the washer on your floor.

2. Adjust front levelincj foot

Check levelness of washer

Place level here

Check the levelness of the washer. First, place a level on the lid
near the console. Then place the level on the side of the washer
in the crease between the top of the washer and the cabinet.

For washers with an adjustable right front foot, lower the right
front foot until it contacts the floor. Using pliers, rotate the foot
up to an additional 1 ]/2 turns.

Not Level LEVEL Not Level

Adjust levelness of washer

If the washer is not level, move
the washer out slightly, tip back
and prop up the front of the washer with a wood block. Adjust
the right front foot by loosening the Iocknut with a 9/16" or
14 mm open-end wrench, then twisting the foot up or down as
needed. After the washer is level, make sure all 4 feet are in
firm contact with the floor by gently rocking it back and forth
and side to side. Adjust the feet if necessary_ then using the
wrench again, turn the Iocknuts counterclockwise on the foot to
tighten to the washer cabinet.

HELPFUL TiP: You may have to adjust the back feet to level the
washer. If you are installing the washer in a tight or hard-to-
reach area, you may have to move the washer out to reach the
feet comfortably. You may wish to lock the back feet before
moving the washer back into place.

IMPORTANT_ If the Iocknuts are not tight against the washer
cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
