• 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
injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Properly ground washer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electrical shock, or death.
• 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,
electrical shock, or death.
• The base opening must not be obstructed by
carpeting when the washer is installed on a
carpeted floor.
• Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such
as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Do not remove ground prong. Do not use
an adapter or extension cord. Plug into a
grounded 3-prong outlet. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical
shock, or death.
POWER OUTLET
• The power outlet must be within 60 inches
(1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so
that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.
• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current wiring codes and regulations.
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the product owner to have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FLOORING
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is
1° maximum.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
NOTE: The washer must be installed on firm
flooring to minimize vibration during the spin
cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor
is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.
The washer should not be installed on rugs or
exposed to weather.
To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines
allow minimum clearances of at least 1 inches
(2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm)
behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, lid, or
floor moldings that may increase the required
clearances.
