WARNING: Destroy the carton and plastic bags
after the washer is unpacked. Children might
use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers causing suffocation. Place all materials in
a garbage container or make materials inaccessible
to children.
Cut the shipping carton along the dotted line at
the base of the unit.
While it is in the carton, carefully lay the washer
on its back side.
Remove the styrofoam base.
Carefully return the washer to an upright
position and remove the carton.
Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet
(122 cm) of the final location.
Remove the following from the back side of the
washer:
4 bolts,
4 yellow plastic spacers,
4 metal “P” clamps.
Remove the service panel from the front of the
washer.
Remove the 4 nuts and 6 large washers that
attach the 2 yellow shipping braces to the drum
and the base. Lift up on the drum and remove
the braces (a yellow ribbon surrounds the items
to be removed). These braces must be removed
to allow the power supply cord to be released
from the shipping ring.
NOTE: Failure to remove the shipping braces can
cause the washer to become severely unbalanced.
Remove the large styrofoam block located
under the drum. Lift up on the drum, tilt the
base of the foam block inwards toward the rear
of the washer until free, then pull the block out.
Remove and discard the yellow ribbon and
label from the front of the washer.
From the rear of the washer, carefully pull out
the power supply cord through the hole in the
backsheet.
Replace the service panel and screws.
NOTE: If you must transport the washer at a later
date, you must reinstall the shipping support
hardware to prevent shipping damage. Keep the
hardware in the plastic bag provided.
