IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read all instructions before using
the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable or
explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• 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.
• Under certain conditions,
hydrogen gas may be produced in
a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 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, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As
the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or
in the washer. Close supervision of
children is neceassary when the
washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from
service or discarded, remove the
lid.
• Do not reach into the washer if the
tub or agitator is moving.
• Do not install or store this washer
where it will be exposed to the
weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part
of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically
recommended in the Owner's
Manual or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.
• See Page 3 of this booklet for
recommended grounding
instructions.
7.
Before
attaching water
inlet hoses, run
water through
both faucets into
a bucket. This will
get rid of particles
in water lines that
might clog hoses.
Mark which is the hot water faucet.
8.
Attach bottom hose (inlet
marked “H”) to hot water faucet.
Attach top hose (inlet marked “C”) to
cold water faucet. Tighten coupling
to faucet by hand; then use pliers to
make final two-thirds turn.
1/2"
(13 mm)
Base
Nut
10.
Use legs and nuts from parts
package. Screw nut down to within
1/2 inch (13 mm) of base.
13.
Tilt washer forward raising
back legs 1 inch (25 mm) off of floor.
To adjust rear self-leveling legs, gently
lower washer to floor. Check levelness
of the washer by placing a
carpenter’s level on top of the
washer, first side to side; then front to
back.
14.
If washer is not level, adjust
the front legs up or down. Make final
check with level.
When washer is level, use wrench
to turn nuts on front legs up tightly
against washer base. If nuts are not
tight against washer base, the washer
may vibrate.
18.
Check that you have all of
your tools. Check that the shipping
strap was removed from the back of
the washer and used to secure the
drain hose.
If entire strap is not removed, washer
may vibrate and be noisy.
19.
Plug power supply cord into
grounded outlet.
NOTE: On some models, during factory
testing, the timer is advanced partially
into the cycle causing the start button
to be depressed. Allow timer to
advance to the end of the cycle.
When the cycle is complete, the timer
will reset and the start button will
return to the start position. If the timer
is not allowed to advance to the end
of the first cycle and reset, the wash
load will not be completed.
