them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers
causing suffocation. Place all materials in a garbage
container or make materials inaccessible to children.

base of the unit.
2. While it is in the carton, carefully lay the washer on its
back side.
3. Remove the styrofoam base.
4. Carefully return the washer to an upright position and
remove the carton.
5. Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet (122 cm) of
the final location.

4 yellow plastic spacers
3 metal “P” clamps
