WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.

1.Turn off the hot and cold water faucets.

2.Unplug the power supply cord or disconnect power.

3.Slowly loosen the fill hoses at the faucets to relieve the water pressure. Use a sponge or towel to absorb the released water.

4.Remove the hot and cold fill hoses from the back of the washer. Drain the water from the hoses into a bucket.

5.Squeeze the ears of the drain hose clamp with pliers to open and slide the clamp down the hose. Disconnect the drain hose from the washer and drain any water in the hose into a bucket.

6.Pull the washer away from wall so it can be tipped on its back.

7.Protect the floor with a large piece of cardboard cut from the pedestal carton. Lay the washer on its back (make sure that the power supply cord is not under the washer) so that the cardboard is under the entire lower back edge of the washer. An additional small amount of water will drain out of the washer when it is tipped back.
