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, WARNING or CAUTION.
These words mean:
DANGER
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION
You may be slightly injured or cause damage to the product if you do not 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.
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.
• Turn off the water faucets and unplug the washer if the
machine is to be left for an extended period of time,
such as during vacations.
• Packaging material can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from
children.
• Always check the inside of the washer for foreign
objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed
when not in use.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is
moving.
• WARNING : This product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

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.
Clean the floor before installation.
1
- Make sure to select solid and smooth ground.
Two or more people are needed for moving and
2
unpacking the washing machine.
Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
3
the washing machine for installation.
Space Requirements
You must allow sufficient space for water lines,
the drain line, and airflow.
NOTE
Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor
y
moldings that may incr he required clearances.
Clearances
45" (114.3 cm)
25.2" (64 cm)
NOTE
The floor must be strong and rigid enough to
y
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.
Before installing the washer, make sure the
y
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.
If a drip pan must be used, take extra care
y
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.
