IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the 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-cleaning 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.
• 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 washing
machine, 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS
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 door or lid.
Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Tools needed
• Level
• Utility knife
• Scissors
• 8" or 10" adjustable wrench
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Pliers
• Bucket
Parts supplied
Remove parts bag from washer. Check that all parts were
included.
• 1 hose clamp
• 2 inlet hoses
• 4 flat water hose washers
• 2 front-leveling legs with nuts
• 1 drain hose
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer in
temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in
the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
• A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of where
the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
back of the washer, and provide water pressure of 10-100 psi
(69-690 kPa). A pressure reduction valve should be used in
the supply line where inlet pressure entering the building
exceeds 100 psi (690 kPa) to prevent damage to the washer
mixing valve.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
washer.
• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water
and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kgs).
• A 12" (30 cm) minimum riser to provide an air cushion and
prevent noise and damage to valves for a single washer
installation.
• A floor drain should be provided under the bulkhead.
Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water supply
lines and drain facilities should be used only where local
codes permit.
NOTE: Front access to the pump area is available by removing
2 clips under the console area and removing the top and
cabinet assembly.

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.
IMPORTANT: The washer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70,
latest edition.
• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine
that the ground path is adequate.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
• A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this washer be provided.
• The 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, grounded-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.
Recommended Ground Method
The washer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition,
and all local codes and ordinances.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord=c_nnected 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. _
