Please read this instruction manual carefully before operating. 2. Refer to the Grounding Instructions (under electrical requirements) in this manual for the proper grounding of the washer. 3. 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. 4. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. 5. Do not reach into the washer if the inner tub or agitator is revolving. 6. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. 7. Do not tamper with the controls. 8. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions trouble shooting guide that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 9. 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. 10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using this washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THIS GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME. 11. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs. 2 12. To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washer to the electrical power source. 13. Use your washer only for its intended purpose, washing clothes. 14. ALWAYS disconnect the washer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord. 15. Install the washer according to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how! 16. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have traces of any flammable substances such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be put into the washer. These flammable substance may cause the fabric to catch on fire. 17. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 18. Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or dropping the washer can damage safety features. If this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified serviceman. 19. Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and fill hose connections are tight. CLOSE the shut-off valves at the end of each wash day. 20. The LID MUST BE CLOSED any time the washer is to spin. DO NOT by-pass the safety switch by permitting the washer to spin with the lid open. A brake will stop the inner tub within seconds if the lid is opened during spinning.

Wrench Pliers 3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (120V~/ 60HZ WITH THE 3 PRONG GROUNDING PLUG) WARNING To reduce the risk of electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding MUST conform with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and such local regulations as might apply. IT'S THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE WIRING FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO MAKE SURE YOUR HOME HAS ADEQUATE ELECTRICAL POWER TO OPERATE THE WASHER. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The washer must be grounded in the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical shock. The washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a 3 prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided with the washer, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. · DO NOT OVERLOAD THE WASHER · DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER · DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD If a positive ground cannot be established through the power cord and if local code permits its use, connect an external ground wire (18 gauge minimum, available at your local hardware store). Connect one end of the wire under any screw (located at rear of washer) and other end to a known effective electrical ground. STANDARD 120 VOLT, 60 HERTZ, 3-WIRE EFFECTIVELY GROUNDED CIRCUIT Note: Have a qualified electrician check the polarity of the wall receptacle. If a voltage reading is measured other than illustrated, a qualified electrician should correct the problem. 4 WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS WARNING Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period and before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. THIS GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

(Warm water temperature is dependent upon the water temperature and the pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.) IMPORTANT: Owner should turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of nonuse. Water pressure Do not operate the washer when the water pressure is lower than 0.02 MPa or higher than .8 MPa. to avoid damage of the inlet system. Risers Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets, see illustration below. Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.05mm) female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS. NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when the washer is not being used.
