Electrical connection GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakĆ down, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance features a cord with an equipmentĆgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet which has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local regulations and ordinances. d WARNING Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the washer has been properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. d WARNING The washing machine must only be connected to an individual branch circuit via a socket which has been properly installed and grounded. The household electrical voltage must correspond to the voltage specification on the washing machine (rating plate, see page 27). Connection specifications as well as the required fuses are stipulated on the appliance rating plate. Volts 110-120 Hertz 60 Amperes 15 Watts 1350 (max.) Make sure that: - the power plug fits into the socket. - the wire size is sufficient. - the grounding system is properly installed. The power cord may be replaced by an electrician only. Replacement power cords are available from Customer Service. d WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washing machine to the power supply. Use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended. Do not insert/remove the power plug with wet or damp hands. Touch the plug only when removing the plug from the socket. d CAUTION TO AVOID RISK OF INJURIES-Take care when using the wrench. Leveling Procedure 1. The appliance should now be in its final position, ready for leveling (moving the appliance after leveling can make it unlevel again.) Each foot of the appliance or pedestal must be placed firmly on the floor to prevent the washing machine from wobbling. Start with all four feet screwed in as far as possible, then back individual feet out as necessary to level the washer. 2. Use a bubble level (24" or less in length) to level the washer front to back and side to side (be sure the level fits between the edges of the washer, and is not elevated at one end on a ridge on the surface of the washer.) 3. Adjust the leveling of the washer with the four height-adjustable feet. Level the washer as low as possible to help reduce vibration. q Loosen the lock nut (1 on the illustration) by turning it clockwise. Use the wrench provided (or a 5/8" - 16mm open end wrench). When you turn the lock nut, the foot (2 on the illustration) it is locked against will turn with it. This will extend the height of the foot. 10
