Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by provid-
ing a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent. 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 accor-
dance 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 exces-
sive vibration during spin cycles. Also be sure
to leave a minimum of ½" of space between
the washer and the dryer. The height adjust-
ment 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 electri-
cian or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly ground-
ed.Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
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 instruc-
tions on how to do this.
