IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when using your 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 a washing machine, turn

on all hot water faucets and let the

water flow from each for severaI min-

utes. This will release any accumulat-

ed hydrogen gas. As the gas is flam-

mable, 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 the lid.

• Do not reach into the washer if the

drum, tub or agitator is moving.

• Do not install or store this 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 the

Owner's Manual or in published user-

repair instructions that you understand

and have the skills to carry out.

• See the "Installation Requirements"

section for grounding requirements.

Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your

washer improves performance and mini-

mizes noise and possible washer "walk."

Your washer can be installed in a base-

ment, laundry room, closet, or recessed

area. (See "Drain System.")

Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

• A water heater set to deliver 120°F

(49%) water to the washer.

• A grounded electrical outlet located with-

in 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 with-

in 4 ft (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water

fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100

psi (34.5-689.6 kPa). Washers with

triple dispensers require 20-100 psi

(138.0-689.6 kPa) for best performance.

• A level floor with a maximum slope of

1 in. (2.5 cm) 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

Ibs (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 winterizing infor-

mation.

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

For agrounded, 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 service-

man 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 apermanently 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.

Before You Start 3. Cut the shipping strap about 16 in,

(40 cm) from plug end. Look for the

words "CUT HERE," Discard end with

the cotter pins. Slide remainder of

shipping strap from the power

cord. You will use the remainder of

the shipping strap later to secure the

drain hose.

•To prevent floor damage, set the

washer onto cardboard before moving

across floon

• Move the washer to within approximate-

ly 3 feet (90 cm) of the final

location.

Remove Shipping Strap

Removing the shipping strap is necessary

for smooth operation. If the shipping strap

is not removed, the washer will make

excessive noise.

1, Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow

strap firmly, until completely removed

from washer, Depending on your

model, there will be either two or three

cotter pins on the end of the shipping

strap when it is pulled out of the

washer. The electrical plug is attached

to this shipping strap.

2. Pull firmly to remove the end of the

shipping strap that remains pinned to

the back of the washer. This will

release the rear self-leveling feet.

Connect Drain Hose

Proper connection of the drain hose will

protect your floors from damage due to

water leakage. To prevent the drain hose

from coming off or leaking, it must be

installed per the following instructions.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installa-

tion, this procedure must be followed

exactly,

1. Check the drain hose to see if it is

the proper length.

2. Wet the inside of the straight end of

the drain hose with tap water. DO

NOT USE ANY OTHER LUBRI-

CANT.
