GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
For a grounded, cord=connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding 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-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.
WARNING:
improper connection of the equipment-
grounding 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 grounded.
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 a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately
3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during
transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are
removed.
1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
2. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt,
including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard bolt and spacers. Then pull the power cord through
the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.
4. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.
NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To avoid
suspension and structural damage to your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by
a certified technician.
