WARNING

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.

■A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. 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 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.

■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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove Transport System

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its final location.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain

the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
