GROUNDING

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor
and 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 risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service technician
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

FLOORING

NOTE: The floor must be strong and rigid enough to
support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded,
without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much
flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading
washer may
not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to
the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the
floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may
hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be
installed on a solidly constructed floor. See the NOTE
to your right.
• Allowable slope under the entire washer is a maximum
1 in. difference from side to side or from front to back.
"installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is
not recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.

UNPACKING

AND

REMOVING

SHiPPiNG

When removing the washer from the carton base, be sure
to remove the foam drum support in the middle of the
carton base. See drawing below.

BOLTS
F

If you must lay the washer down to remove the base
packaging materials, always protect the side of the
washer and lay it carefully on its side. DO NOT lay the
washer on its front or back.
To prevent internal damage during transport, the washer
is equipped with four shipping bolts and plastic retainers.
IMPORTANT:
*These shipping bolts and retainers MUST NOT be
removed until just before moving the washer into its
final position.
*These bolts and retainers MUST be removed before
operating the washer.
* Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may
cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to
permanent damage to the washer.
NOTE: The power cord is secured to the back of the
washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation
with shipping botts in place.

1. Starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the
wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping
bolts by turning them counterclockwise.

CONNECTING

THE WATER LINES

*iMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing
washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

f

the

• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and
142 psi (100 - 980 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more
than 142 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear,
and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can
result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures
prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature
for several hours before use and check for leaks prior
to operation.
• For optimal wash performance, the hot water temperature
should be set at 120°-135°F (48-57°C) and the cold water
at 60°F (t5°C).

3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each
inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out
of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future
problems with clogged filter screens, and will also
allow you to verify which water line is hot and which
is cold.

NOTE:
• Total height of the hose end should not exceed 96 in.

LEVELING

THE WASHER

The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the floor must be a level, solid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to
level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than
necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.
NOTE: Before installing the washer, make
sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that
move or slide on the floor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to
poor contact with the floor. See
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS
for more information.

Tighten all 4 lock nuts
securely using the
wrench.

3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front to
back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four lock
nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out of
adjustment during operation. Make sure that all four
leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow the
instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the
leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with
the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the
machine may result in increased vibration and noise
during operation.

NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level, run
the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized load
of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER, select
RINSE & SPIN, and press the START/PAUSE button.
See the following sections for additional information on
cycle selection and operation. Verify that the washer does
not rock or vibrate excessively during the spin cycle. If the
washer vibrates or shakes, adjust the leveling feet, while
the washer is spinning, until the vibrations are reduced.

All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Rock
the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all
four leveling feet are in firm and even contact with the floor.

OF NON-SKID

PADS

Some floor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the
washer from moving on the floor during heavily
unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional
load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration can
result from the washer moving out of position. If these
conditions are encountered, follow the instructions below
for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads will help
prevent the washer from moving during heavy, out of
balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and vibration.

packet

care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain
lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
