3.Turn down the bottom flaps³remove all base packaging, including the cardboard, styrofoam base and styrofoam tub support (inserted in center of base). Save the stacking brackets located on the styrofoam pad that covered the top of the washer.

NOTE: If you are installing a pedestal, proceed to

the installation instructions that come with the pedestal.

4.Carefully return the washer to an upright position and remove the carton.

5.Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet (122 cm) of the final location.

WARNING³TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:

‡DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Washer must be electrically grounded in accordance local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded

POWER SUPPLY – 2-wire, with ground, 120-volt, single-phase, 60-Hz, Alternating Current.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE – Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the washer is

in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

1.The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.

2.Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition).

If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded three-prong grounding-type receptacle.
