To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have the properly earthed outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
■
If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
earth path is adequate.
■
The installer is to confirm, through the local power supply
authority, if necessary, that the machine is connected to a
power supply with a maximum impedance of 0.068 + j0.043
ohms for phases (RA + jXA) and 0.0455 + j0.02844 ohms for
neutral (RN + jXN).
■
Do not earth to a gas pipe.
■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly earthed.
■
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earth circuit.
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.

1. Remove power plug and yellow strap from machine base to
release the rear leveling system.
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.
