Safety Information

Explanation of Safety Messages

Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you

will find precautionary statements (“DANGER,”

“WARNING,” and “CAUTION”) followed by specific

instructions. These precautions are intended for the

personal safety of the operator, user, servicer, and

those maintaining the machine.

Additional precautionary statements (“IMPORTANT”

and “NOTE”) are followed by specific instructions.

IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used

to inform the reader of specific procedures where

minor machine damage will occur if the procedure

is not followed.

NOTE: The word “NOTE” is used to communicate

installation, operation, maintenance or servicing

information that is important but not hazard

related.

Important Safety Instructions

(Save These Instructions)

1. Read all instructions before using the washer.

2. Refer to the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS in

the INSTALLATION manual for the proper

grounding of the washer.

3. Do not wash articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances as they give

off vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

5. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before using a

washing machine or combination washer-dryer,

turn on all hot water faucets and let the water

flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas

is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when

the washer is used near children. This is a safety

rule for all appliances.

7. Before the washer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

8. Do not reach into the washer if the wash drum is

moving.

9. Do not install or store the washer where it will be

exposed to water and/or weather.

10. Do not tamper with the controls.

Indicates an imminently hazardous

situation that, if not avoided, will cause

severe personal injury or death.

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not

avoided, could cause severe personal

injury or death.

manufacturer or its service agent.

20. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve

and that fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE

the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day.

21. Loading door MUST BE CLOSED any time the

washer is to fill, tumble or spin. DO NOT bypass

the loading door switch by permitting the washer

to operate with the loading door open.

22. Always read and follow manufacturer’s

instructions on packages of laundry and cleaning

aids. Heed all warnings or precautions. To reduce

the risk of poisoning or chemical burns, keep

them out of the reach of children at all times

(preferably in a locked cabinet).

supplied by the garment manufacturer.

24. Never operate the washer with any guards and/or

panels removed.

25. DO NOT operate the washer with missing or

broken parts.

Before You Start

Tools

For most installations, the basic tools you will need

are:

Figure 1

NOTE: An 8 in. (20.32 cm) coin drawer is required

for coin operated models.

NOTE: If the washer is delivered on a cold day

(below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room

or area during the cold months, do not attempt to

operate it until the washer has had a chance to

warm up.

NOTE: Install dryer before washer. This allows

room for attaching exhaust duct.

NOTE: Some moisture in the wash drum is normal.

Installing the Washer

Step 1: Position Washer Near Installation

Area

Move washer so that it is within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of

the desired area of installation.

NOTE: For best performance and to minimize

vibration or movement, install washer on a solid,

sturdy and level floor. Some floors may need to be

reinforced, especially on a second floor or over a

basement. Do not install the washer on carpeting,

soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported

structures.

Figure 2

Step 2: Position and Level the Washer

Position washer so it has sufficient clearance for

installation and servicing.

NOTE: Use of the dispenser drawer or washer door

as a handle in the transportation of the washer may

cause damage to the dispenser or door.

Place washer in position on a solid, sturdy and level

floor. Installing the washer on any type of carpeting,

soft tile, a platform or other weakly supported

structures is not recommended.

Place a level on the cabinet top and check if the

washer is level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Level must rest on raised portion of top

panel. Refer to Figure 3.

If washer is not level, tilt washer to access the front

and rear leveling legs. For easier access to leveling

legs, prop up washer with a wooden block. Refer to

Figure 3. Loosen 7/8 in. locknut and adjust legs until

the washer is level from side to side and front to back

(using a level). Washer should not rock.

Tighten the locknuts securely against the washer

base using the 7/8 in. wrench. If the locknuts are not

tight, washer will move out of position during

operation.

H054I

+,($

Washers elevated above floor level must

be anchored to that elevated surface,

base or platform. The material used to

elevate the washer should also be

anchored to the floor to ensure that the

washer will not walk or that the washer

can not be physically pulled, tipped or

slid from its installed position. Failure to

do so may result in conditions which can

produce serious injury, death and/or

property damage. W306

WARNING

NOTE: DO NOT slide washer across floor if the

leveling legs have been extended, as legs and base

could become damaged.

Remove rubber feet from accessories bag and place on

all four leveling legs.

Verify that unit doesn’t rock.

Figure 3

Step 3: Connect Fill Hoses

Water Supply

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch

(19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT

USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to

permit turning them off when washer is not being

used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80°

Fahrenheit (16° to 27 Celsius). Recommended

maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit

(51°Celsius). Warm water is a mixture of hot and cold

water. Warm water temperature is dependent upon

water temperature and pressure of both the hot and

cold water supply lines.

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a

maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827

kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per

square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill

time in the washer and may not properly flush out

the detergent dispenser.
