SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
UÊÊRefer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. Installation instructions are
packed with the washer for installer’s reference. If
the washer is moved to a new location, have it
checked and reinstalled by a qualified service tech-
nician. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊDo not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
UÊÊFor personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊThe power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the pos-
sibility of electric shock from this appliance.
UÊÊThis washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊHave the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly ground-
ed. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊWhere a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊDo not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
leak damage.
UÊÊDo not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter
or extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong out-
let. Failure to follow these warnings can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊThe washer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
UÊÊNever unplug your washer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
UÊÊRepair or immediately replace all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
UÊÊWhen installing or moving the washer, be careful not
to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to
follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
UÊÊThe washer must be installed and electrically ground-
ed by a qualified service person in accordance with
local codes to prevent shock hazard and assure
stability during operation.
UÊÊThe washer is heavy. Two or more people may be
needed to install and move the appliance. Failure to
do so can result in back or other injury.
UÊÊStore and install the washer where it will not be ex-
posed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to
outdoor weather conditions. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious leak damage.
UÊÊDo not install the washer in humid spaces to reduce
the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warn-
ing can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
UÊÊTo reduce the risk of injury to persons, adhere to all
industry recommended safety procedures including
the use of long sleeved gloves and safety glasses.
Failure to follow all of the safety warnings in this
manual could result in property damage, injury to
persons or death.
