INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Start
NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard
before moving across floor.
Remove Shipping Materials
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 90 cm (3 ft) 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.
Straight power cord
1. Remove power plug and yellow strap from machine base to
release the rear leveling system.
2. Firmly grasp the power cord and pull to completely remove
the power cord, cord restraint, and pin from the rear panel.
3. Confirm that the power cord restraint (A), and pin (B) are
removed.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
For an earthed, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, earthing 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-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
earthing 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 earthed.
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 an earthed metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the
appliance.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
