WARNING

Explanation of Safety Messages

Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific instructions. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and those maintaining the machine.

Important Safety Instructions

(Save These Instructions)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in the INSTALLATION manual for the proper grounding of the washer. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

3. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT” and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANTE: The word “IMPORTANT” is used to inform the reader of specific procedures where minor machine damage will occur if the procedure is not followed.

NOTA: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate installation, operation, maintenance or servicing information that is important but not hazard related.

4. Do not add the following substances or textiles containing traces of the following substances to the wash water: gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, vegetable oils, machine oils, drycleaning solvents, flammable chemicals, thinners or other flammable or explosive substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite, explode or cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been ug23sed 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. THE GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

6. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power source.

802733

Safety Information

7. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. This is a safety rule for all appliances.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the washtub is moving.

9. Never operate the washer with any guards, panels and/or parts removed or broken. DO NOT tamper with the controls or bypass any safety devices.

10. DO NOT operate individual units if they have been separated from a stack unit.

11. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

12. Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. To reduce the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked cabinet). Heed all warnings or precautions.

13. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

16. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified service person.

17. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service.

18. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

19. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

20. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTA: The WARNING and IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the washer.

14. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass the loading door switch by permitting the washer to operate with the loading door open.

15. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

D074I

1 Wrench 2 Screwdriver 3 Pliers 4 Socket Wrench 5 Level

NOTA: An 8 in. (20.32 cm) coin drawer is required for coin operated models.

NOTA: If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.

Figure 1

802733

Installation

H054I

Washers elevated above floor level must be anchored to that elevated surface, base or platform. The material used to elevate the washer should also be anchored to the floor to ensure that the washer will not walk or that the washer can not be physically pulled, tipped or slid from its installed position. Failure to do so may result in conditions which can produce serious injury, death and/or property damage.

W306

WARNING

Installing the Washer

Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation Area

Move washer so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the desired area of installation.

NOTA: For best performance and to minimize vibration or movement, install washer on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures.

Step 2: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for installation and servicing.

NOTA: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door as a handle in the transportation of the washer may cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting, soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported structures is not recommended.

Figure 2

H054I

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the washer is level from side to side and front to back.

NOTA: Level must rest on raised portion of top panel. Refer to Figure 3.

If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling legs, prop up washer with a wooden block. Refer to Figure 3. Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust legs until the washer is level from side to side and front to back (using a level). Washer should not rock.

Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not

tight, washer will move out of position during operation.

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80° Fahrenheit (16° to 27 Celsius). Recommended maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit (51° Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon water temperature and pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.

802733

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTA: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the washer and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.
