WARNING

•This washer is heavy. Two or more people are required when moving and unpacking the washer.

Failure to do so may result in damage to property or serious bodily harm.

•Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

•Properly ground washer to conform with all electric governing codes and ordinances (refer to page 5).

Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the washer in humid spaces. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

•To ensure proper air flow, do not block the large opening on the bottom of the washer with carpeting or other materials.

•Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

Power Outlet

•The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the washer.

•The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.

•Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.

•The outlet must be grounded in accordance with current wiring electric codes and regulations.

the washer to open the door.

FLOORING

•To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE to your right.

•Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum 1 in. difference from side to side or from front to back.

•Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not recommended.

•Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

NOTE: The floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
