INSTALLING THE WASHER
2. The shipping strap plug must be completely
removed from the washer for the self-level-
ing legs to be released. Save the shipping
strap for use in step 7.
Removing the shipping strap is necessary for
smooth operation. If the shipping strap is not
removed, the washer will make excessive noise.
1. Do not cut yellow strap. Pull yellow strap
firmly, until completely removed from
washer. There will be two cotter pins on the
end of the shipping strap when it is pulled
out of the washer. The electrical plug is
attached to this shipping strap.
To minimize a possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-
ing-type receptacle, which has been grounded
in accordance with National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70), and all local and state codes.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.
