GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or breakĆ

down, grounding will reduce the risk of

electrical shock by providing a path of

least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance features a cord with an

equipmentĆgrounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet

which has been properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local

regulations and ordinances.

d

WARNING

Improper connection of the

equipment grounding conductor

may result in electric shock. Have

the appliance checked by

a qualified electrician or service

technician if you are in doubt as to

whether the washer has been

properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with

the appliance - if it will not fit in the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician.

d

WARNING

The washing machine must only be

connected to an individual branch

circuit via a socket which has been

properly installed and grounded.

The household electrical voltage must

correspond to the voltage specification

on the washing machine (rating plate,

Leveling Procedure

1.

The appliance should now be in its

final position, ready for leveling

(moving the appliance after

leveling can make it unlevel again.)

Each foot of the appliance or

pedestal must be placed firmly on

the floor to prevent the washing

machine from wobbling.

Start with all four feet screwed in

as far as possible, then back

individual feet out as necessary to

level the washer.

2.

Use a bubble level (24" or less in

length) to level the washer front to

back and side to side (be sure the

level fits between the edges of the

washer, and is not elevated at one

end on a ridge on the surface of

the washer.)

3.

Adjust the leveling of the washer

with the four height-adjustable

feet. Level the washer as low as

possible to help reduce vibration.

q Loosen the lock nut (1 on the

illustration) by turning it

clockwise. Use the wrench

provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm

open end wrench). When you

turn the lock nut, the foot (

2 on

the illustration) it is locked

against will turn with it. This will

extend the height of the foot.
