SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following.
• Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed
grounding procedures. Installation instructions are packed
with the washer for installer’s reference. If the washer is
moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a
qualified service technician. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock from this appliance.
• This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz
grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• Do not install on carpet. Install washer on a solid floor.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious leak damage.
• Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter or
extension cord. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Failure
to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
• The washer should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your washer by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.

either end. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• When installing or moving the washer, be careful not to
pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. Failure to follow
this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or
death.
• The washer must be installed and electrically grounded by
a qualified service person in accordance with local codes to
prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation.
• The washer is heavy. Two or more people may be needed
to install and move the appliance. Failure to do so can result
in back or other injury.
• Store and install the washer where it will not be exposed
to temperatures below freezing or exposed to outdoor
weather conditions. Failure to follow this warning can cause
serious leak damage.
