• 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 the washer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Failure to fol-
low this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not in-
stall the washer in humid spaces. Failure to fol-
low 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 car-
peting or other materials.
• Do not remove the 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 electric wiring codes and regulations.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-
mended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obliga-
tion of the product owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified service technician.
FLOORING
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• 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 washer must be installed on firm floor-
ing to minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is suf-
ficient, provided it is built to FHA standards. The
washer should not be installed on rugs or exposed
to weather.
