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 immediately 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,
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
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" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

washer in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area.
45.5"
(1156 mm
Spacing for recessed area or closet installation All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, with tested
spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on sides.
[]
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
[]
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and
floor moldings.
[]
Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the
washer to reduce noise transfer.
[]
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
[] Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
(698 ram) _"
You wiNNneed: [] 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 3 ft. (900 mm)
of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

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.
Wall standpipe drain system
See requirements for floor standpipe drain system. Floor drain system
Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number
285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285835), and an Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863) that may be

28" (710 mm) from bottom of washer. (Additional hoses may be needed.)
[]
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.

wash tub. Secure drain hose with cable tie.
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.
