INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY
The washer should be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60
Hz, 3-prong (grounded) outlet. Plug in the washer.
y
The power outlet must be within 60 inches
(1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
y
The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that
the plug is easily accessible.
y
Plug the washer into an electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. For
best performance, plug the washer into its own
individual outlet.
This helps prevent overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires. If necessary, use a new, UL-
listed 3-prong adapter or 3-wire extension cord with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the
branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer
than three feet. Failure to follow these warnings can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
y
The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current wiring codes and regulations.
y
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
y
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
y
Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or
power plug. Replace or repair it immediately.
Failure
to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or
malfunction.
y
Do not modify the power cord and take care not to
damage it when installing or moving the washing
machine.
Failure to do so may result in death, fire,
electric shock, or malfunction.
y
Make sure that the washing machine is grounded.
y
Connect this washing machine to a grounded outlet
conforming to the rating prior to use.
Failure to do
so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
y
Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of the
power cord.
Doing so may cause death, fire, electric
shock, or product malfunction.
WARNING
y
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service technician if
there is doubt that the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
Never damage or cut off the ground prong of the
power cord. If the cord does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
WARNING
SORTING WASH LOADS
GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS
For the best washing results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort the clothing
into loads that are made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can
result in poor wash performance, color transfer,
discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort fabrics
into groups as described below.
COLORS
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in
a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing
dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye
transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
SOIL LEVEL
Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized
washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same
load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor
wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
The pedestal washer is optimized for use with
lightly soiled and delicate items.
FABRIC TYPE
Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier
fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load
can result in poor wash performance for the heavier
fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items.
LINT TYPE
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while
others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid
mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the
same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling
and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint
collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth
towels.)

y Do not load items higher than the top edge of the
tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leak-
age or damage to fabrics.
y Use the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for
buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or
comforters. Refer to owner's manual included with
washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can
result in leakage.
