Explanation
Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be
neutral and the small slot must be at line voltage.
Mispolarized–The outlet is incorrectly wired so that the
larger slot is at line voltage and the smaller slot is neutral.
Grounded–This means the round hole connection is con-
nected to earth ground through a connection to the main
power panel.
Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete to
earth ground and/or the main power panel.
Grounding Instructions
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not

alter the plug.
• Do not remove grounding prong when installing
grounded appliance in a home that does not have
three wire grounding receptacle. Under no condition
is grounding prong to be cut off or removed. It is the
personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a
qualified electrician and have properly grounded three
prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this
equipment must be grounded.
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an

electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or technician if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the
appropriate drawing. Models operate with a supply voltage
of 120 Volts.

! WA RNING

To Avoid The Possibility Of Water Damage:
• Have Water Faucets Easily Accessible
• Turn Off Faucets When Washer Is Not In Use.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommendedheight of the standpipe is 18”. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to
the standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to acceptthe outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain
hose is attachedat the factory.
FLOORING
For best performancethe washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to
be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalancedload situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never
install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommendedthe washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will
always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damageto belts,
pump, hoses and other components.Operating temperature should be above 60°F.
ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:
Sides – 0 in / 0 mm Rear – 1 in / 25 mm
Top – 2 in / 51 mm Closet Front – 0 in / 0 mm
The closet front must have a total unobstructed air opening of 72 in 2. / 465 cm2 minimum, if both washer and
dryer are installed together. A louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable.Washer alone does
not require specific air opening.

Before using the washing machine, you must remove the four shipping bolts
