Installation Instructions, Before You Start

■To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed 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 earthed outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth path is adequate.

■The installer is to confirm, through the local power supply authority, if necessary, that the machine is connected to a power supply with a maximum impedance of 0.068 + j0.043 ohms for phases (RA + jXA) and 0.0455 + j0.02844 ohms for neutral (RN + jXN).

■Do not earth to a gas pipe.

■Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly earthed.

■Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earth circuit.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

For an earthed, cord-connected washer:

This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing 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-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- earthing 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 earthed.

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 an earthed metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the appliance.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard before moving across floor.

Remove Shipping Materials

Removing the shipping material is necessary for proper operation. If the shipping material is not removed, the washer will make excessive noise.

1.Move the washer to within approximately 90 cm (3 ft) of its final location.

2.The washer must be in the upright position and not tilted before removing the shipping material.

3.Locate the yellow shipping materials on the rear of the machine, near the bottom. Follow the steps for your particular model, either the one with the straight power cord and cord restraint or the looped power cord version.
