BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following :

•Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s manual.

•Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

•Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or 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.

•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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

•Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

•Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper,

rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

•See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

•ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

•Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

•Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.

•This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.

12 INSTALLATION

Choosing the Proper Location

Install the washing machine on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washing machine, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise.

1Clean the floor before installation.

- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.

2Two or more people are needed for moving and unpacking the washing machine.

3Allow for sufficient space between the walls and the washing machine for installation.

Space Requirements

You must allow sufficient space for water lines, line, and airflow.

NOTE

yyBe sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may incr he required clearances.

Clearances
	45" (114.3 cm)
	25.2" (64 cm)
<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>33.5" (85.09 cm)
3.5" (8.89 cm)	21.6" (54.86 cm)	1" (2.5 cm)

24" (60.96 cm)

1" (2.5 cm)

NOTE

yyThe floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex,

you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid.

A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

yyBefore installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

yyIf a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation.

		INSTALLATION 13
	Unpacking and Removing Shipping	1 Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts,
	Bolts	use the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four
		shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
	Remove the washer from the carton base.	Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them
		slightly while pulling them out.
	If you must lay the washer down to remove the
	base packaging materials, always lay it carefully on
	its side. Do not lay the washer on its front or back.

	2 Locate the four hole caps included in the
Carton Base	accessory pack and install them in the shipping
	bolt holes.

Cap

NOTE

yySave the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the washer without reinstalling the shipping bolts.

yy Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place.
