AquaStop

t

The AquaStop

t

system

is

available

in

select models only.

AquaStop

t

protects against

flood-type

water

leakage through

the

clothes

washer.

This is accomplished using

a

stop-valve

in

the

AquaStop

t

hose

and

a floating

switch

in

the

washer base.

If a leak

is detected,

the system

is

designed

to

shut

off the

water flow,

minimizing

leakage.

AquaStop

t

is an

internal containment

technology, and does not protect

against outside

forces,

such as

home

plumbing

problems,

or

damage

caused

to

the machine's hose

(such as

installation

damage).

The

clothes

washer

must

be

level

and turned ²on"

for

proper

functionality.

q

The

AquaStop

t

feature

is

not

active

and will

not

operate

if

the

cycle

selector

is in

the

²Off"

position.

q

The

washer

must

be

level for

correct

Aquastop

operation.

AquaStop

t

Hose

The AquaStop

t

hose

is an external

containment

technology

that prevents

potential flooding

if the

hose

leaks.

If the AquaStop

t

hose

leaks,

a

red

mark

is displayed and the

water inlet is

blocked.

q

An

Aquastop

t

hose

that has

activated cannot

be

reset.

Contact

Customer

Service

for a

replacement

hose

(see

page

31).

pipe

to

prevent

pressure

buildup

.

q

Use

a

This is

to

keep

the

hose

tied

to

one

of the

water

supply hoses,
