IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be e

xposed to the weather.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

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.

A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not recommended.

A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water, and load) of 315 lbs (143 kgs).

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care” for information on winterizing.

Installation spacing for recessed area and closet installations

The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this washer. This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides. Recommended spacing should be considered for the following reasons:

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

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.

Electrical Requirements

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 serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3prong grounding plug.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3-prong 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.

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.

WARNING

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 equipmentgrounding 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.
