Electrical Requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical 
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is 
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit 
serving only this appliance be provided. 
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having 
 
a 3 prong grounding plug. 
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be 
 
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded 
 
in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating 
 
outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and 
obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded 
 
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the 
 
washer is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove Transport System
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer 
 
is within approximately 3 ft (900 mm) of its final location.
There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the 
suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain 
 
the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.
1. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
