UNPACKING THE WASHER
WARNING:
Recycle or destroy the carton
and plastic bags after the washer is unpacked. Make
materials inaccessible to children. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers
causing suffocation.
1. Cut and remove the top and bottom packaging straps.
2. While it is in the carton, carefully lay the washer on its
side. DO NOT lay the washer on its front or back.
3. Turn down the bottom flaps—remove all base
packaging, including the cardboard, styrofoam base
and styrofoam tub support (inserted in center of base).
NOTE: If you are installing a pedestal, proceed to the
installation instructions that come with the pedestal.
4. Carefully return the washer to an upright position and
remove the carton.
5. Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet (122 cm) of
the final location.
6. Remove the following from the back side of the washer:
4 bolts
4 plastic spacers (including rubber grommets)
4 power cord retainers
NOTE: Failure to remove the shipping braces can cause
the washer to become severely unbalanced.
Save all bolts for future use.
NOTE: If you must transport the washer at a later date,
you must reinstall the shipping support hardware to
prevent shipping damage. Keep the hardware in the
plastic bag provided.
