Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has 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.
Important Points
▯Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit into the outlet have a properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not cut, remove or bypass the grounding prong on the washer power cord plug.
▯The washer power cord plug must be easily accessible when the washer is operating.
▯When unplugging or plugging in the washer power cord, grasp the plug. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the washer.
▯The household electrical supply must be suitable for the voltage specification shown on the washer rating plate (located inside the washer door, immediately below the drum opening).

Transporting the washer
Before transporting the washer
1.Disconnect the washer power cord from the wall outlet.
2.Turn off the water supply to the washer.
3.Disconnect water supply lines from the tap.
4.Disconnect the drain hose from the drain location.
5.Install the transport bolt assemblies as shown below.
Remove the transport bolt hole covers
1.Remove all four transport bolt hole covers.
2.Pull the tip of the arrow on the cover out slightly to disengage the locking tab.
3.Rotate the cover counterclockwise to remove. Repeat for all 4 transport bolt hole covers.
Insert the transport bolt assemblies
1.Each assembly consists of a plastic bushing and a bolt that extends through the bushings. Unscrew the bolt until the threaded end is flush with the end of the plastic bushing.
2.Insert the transportation bolt and bushing assembly as shown. The metal housing slides around the bolt through the slot in the plastic bushing as the bushing is slid into place. The open part of the bushing slot should be facing the direction shown to allow the assembly to slide fully into place.
3.When the bolt is in place screw it in until the bolt threads engage the drum. Double check and ensure bolts are screwed into threaded holes and not into adjecent cracks or crevices. Repeat the process for all 4 transportation bolt assemblies before tightening any all the way. Complete tightening all 4 bolt assemblies until they are each snug in place.
