SET UP & USE
CHOOSE THE PROPER LOCATION
FLOORING
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood
floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations.
- Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause
your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer
will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen
water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components. Never
install on a platform or weakly supported structure.
ELECTRIC
Use 120Volt 60Hz 15 Amps fuse or circuit breaker. Individual branch circuit serving
only for your washer is recommended.
Never use an extension cord.
GROUNDING
Electrical grounding is required for this washer.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-
prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the
risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you
are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. To prevent unnecessary risk of fire,
electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done
in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest
Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot
water pipes.
