ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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 is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

[] 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.

NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set washer onto cardboard before moving it.

It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

Move washer to within 4 ft (1.2 m) of its final location. It must be in a fully upright position.

f2. Locate transport bolts

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 ifyou 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 quaiified

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.

Locate four transport bolts on rear of washer.

Remove transport bolts from

washer

Loosen bolts with a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench. Slide each bolt and spacer to center of hole. Pull bolts and plastic spacers from back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.

_=,, Cover bolt holes with transport

bolt hole plugs

Close bolt holes on cabinet back with four transport bolt hole plugs included with washer parts.

5, Remove power cord

Remove the yellow shipping strap from the cord. Gently place power cord over top of washer to allow free access

to back of washer. IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has

been completed.

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hose, centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain port and secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 9. For a floor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form

as shown in Step 8. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Alternate Parts".

Pull power cord through opening in rear panel and close hole with attached cap.

NOTE: If washer is transported at later date, call your local service center to avoid suspension and structural damage, a certified technician must properly set up washer for

relocation.
