SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
z_WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
* Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. Installation instructions are
packed with the washer for installer's reference. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked
and reinstalled by a qualified service technician. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
* Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
* For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause seri-
ous injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
* This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
* Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak
damage.
* Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o The washer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
* Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o Repair or immediately replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o When installing or moving the washer, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
o The washer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local
codes to prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation.
o The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
o 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 leak damage.
* 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.
o To reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all industry recommended safety procedures including the
use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses. Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this manual could
result in property damage, injury to persons or death.
o Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has miss-
ing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
o To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the
washer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
o Plug the power plug into the wall socket in the right direction so that the cord runs towards the floor. If you
plug the power plug into the socket in the opposite direction, the electric wires within the cable may be dam-
aged and this may result in electric shock or fire.
