GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded,
cord-connected
washer:
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.
WARNING:
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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard
before moving across floor.
Removing the shipping material is necessary for proper operation.
If the shipping material is not removed, the washer will make
excessive noise.
1. Move the washer to within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of its
final location.
2. The washer must be in the upright position and not tilted
before removing the shipping material.
3. Locate the yellow shipping materials on the rear of the
machine, near the bottom. Follow the steps for your particular
model, either the one with the straight power cord and cord
restraint or the looped power cord version.
