Installation WARNING! Connection to a permanently wired supply point must be made only by a qualified electrician Grounding instructions This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Freestanding installation The washer can be placed next to the dryer. It is essential that the machine is leveled and the locknuts are tightened to prevent excessive vibration during spin cycles. Also be sure to leave a minimum of ½" of space between the washer and the dryer. The height adjustment for the washer is 33½" to 34½" (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise it higher than 34½" (876 mm). WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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 grounded. 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. Stacked installation ASKO washers should never be stacked on a counter or a dryer. You can, however, stack an ASKO dryer on an ASKO washer. Refer to your Dryer Use and Care Guide for instructions on how to do this. Built-in installation ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet or worktop with a height of 34" to 35" (863 to 889 mm) or in a closet. There must be a gap of about ½" (12 mm) all around the machine, including between the rear edge of the machine's top panel and the back wall. The opening width must be at least 24½" (622 mm). Space must also be available for the fill and drain hoses. See the illustration below for measurements and positions. If the washer is installed in a closet the door must be left open while the washer is running. If the drain outlet is higher than 24"(610 mm), the connections will need to be recessed. 30 Customer Care Center 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
