Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property damage or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following
1. Read all safety instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and
having moving parts, there are potential hazards.
To use this appliance safely, the operator should
become familiar with the instructions for operation
of the appliance and always exercise care when
using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to bad weather..
4. Install and level the washing machine on a floor that
can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which
is not grounded adequately and in accordance
with local and national codes. See installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not wash or dry items 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. Hand wash and
line dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the
clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or
solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
b.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.
c. 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 a washing machine or combination
washer-dryer, 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.
7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is moving.
8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
9. Do not tamper with controls.
10.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in published user- repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
11.Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service
your washing machine.
12.Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.
13.Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain
some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining
oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.
14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.
15. Do not wash fiberglass materials.
Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in
subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.
16.Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.
17.Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.
18.Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
19.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING :
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.
3.The longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
WARNING :
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
under any circumstances.
PREFERRED METHOD OF GROUNDING
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.

Installing the Washing Machine
SELECTING A LOCATION
Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
• A hard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see "Adjusting the leveling feet," below)
• Away from direct sunlight.
• Adequate ventilation
• Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas
Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is
installed on a carpeted floor.
ADJUSTING THE LEVELING FEET
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under
the feet):
1. Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.
2. Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the supplied wrench.
•Place the washer on a sturdy, flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs.
(Only a l degree angle is allowed.)
REMOVING THE TRANSIT BOLTS
Before using the washing machine, you
must remove the five transit bolts from
the back of the unit. To remove the
bolts:
1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.
2. Take each bolt head and plastic together, pull it through the wide part of the hole.
Repeat for each bolt.
3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
4. Keep the transit bolts for future use.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the
water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and
you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.
To connect the water supply hose:
1. Take the L-shaped arm fitting for the cold
water supply hose and connect to the cold
water supply intake on the back of the
machine. Tighten by hand.
