fire, electric shock, or death.
y 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.
y To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not in-
stall the washer in humid spaces. Failure to fol-

y To ensure proper air flow, do not block the large
opening on the bottom of the washer with car-
peting or other materials.

adapter or extension cord. Plug into a grounded
3-prong outlet. Failure to follow this warning

death.
POWER OUTLET
y The power outlet must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of
either side of the washer.
y The appliance and outlet must be positioned so
that the plug is easily accessible.
y Do not overload the outlet with more than one ap-
pliance.
y The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current electric wiring codes and regulations.
y A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-
mended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
FLOORING
y To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST
be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
y Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maxi-
mum 1 in. difference from side to side or from
front to back.
y Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is not
recommended.
y Never install the washer on a platform or weakly sup-
ported structure.

to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete
flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, pro-
vided it is built to FHA standards. The washer should
not be installed on rugs or exposed to weather.
