Before you start: remove shipping materials

It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper

operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

Move washer to within 3 ft (914 mm) of its final location; it must  

be in a fully upright position.

 To avoid floor damage, set washer onto cardboard  

before moving it.

Locate yellow shipping materials on back of washer, near 

bottom. If it is a straight power cord and cord restraint, follow 

steps 3 & 4 then continue to step 6; if power cord is looped, 

skip to step 5.

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction 

or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical 

shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric 

current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an 

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The 

plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is 

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 

codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. 

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in 

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will 

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 

electrician.
For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, 

permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding 

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and 

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on 

the appliance.

n

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical 

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a 

separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.

n

  This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a  

3 prong grounding plug.

n

  To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be  

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type 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.

n

  If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is  

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that  

the ground path is adequate.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the 

washer is properly grounded.
