CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabilities, the use of this washer with power created by gas powered generators, solar powered generators, wind powered generators or any other generator other than the local utility company is not recommended.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

NOTE
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not required.
Grounding requirements
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
1.The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2.Since your washer is equipped with a power
supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is
the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded three prong grounding type receptacle.
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose connection. Water pressure MUST be between 30 and 120 psi. Pressure difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10 psi. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.
Drain system requirements
1.Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per minute.
2.A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm) minimum.
3.The standpipe height above the floor should be: Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm)
96”
(244cm)
max.
24”
(61cm)
min.
NOTE
Drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 79 in. (201 cm) high standpipe. For higher standpipe, use hose P/N 137098000, available from an authorized parts distributor.
Installation Requirements |

Clearance requirements
IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WASHER:
1.In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions. The ambient temperature should never be below 60° F (15.6° C) to maximize detergent effectiveness.
2.In an area (garage or garage-type building) where gasoline or other flammables (including automobiles) are kept or stored.
3.On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm). To minimize vibration or movement, reinforcement of the floor may be necessary.
INSTALLATION IN A RECESS OR CLOSET
If washer and dryer are installed in the same closet, door ventilation is required: A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 cm²) of opening, equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Louvered openings should be located 3 inches (7.6 cm) from bottom and top of door. Air openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the door is acceptable.

Leveling your washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by properly leveling the washer.
1.For free standing installation and with the washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its final location, place a level on top of the washer.
2.Use the universal wrench to adjust the leveling legs so the washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-corner.
3.Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the washer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a minimum for best performance of the washer.
NOTE
For pedestal installations, see additional installation instructions included with the pedestal.
