SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES - ALL APPLIANCES
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing
Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to
complete it in a safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breaker to the
OFF position, or remove the fuse.
• Turn off the gas supply.
• Turn off the water supply.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
SUBSTITUTIONS MAY DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY
STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or
GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current
carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician
reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so will
create a hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges,
high-temperature components, and moving parts
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately
spaced away from all metal parts and panels
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely
connected
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled

SECTION A - Installation Instructions
4. Carpenter’s level.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Full Size Tumble Action Washers
Before beginning installation, carefully read these
instructions. This will simplify the
installation and ensure the washer is installed
correctly and safely. Leave these instructions
near the washer after installation for future reference.
NOTE: The electrical service to the washer must
conform with local codes and ordinances
and the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFP A 70.
For your safety the information in
this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
-Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquid in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPL Y - 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt, single
phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. NOTE: 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 RECEPT ACLE - Properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the washer is in an installed position.
WHA T TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
· Do not try to light any appliance.
· Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
· Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
· Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppliers
instructions.

department.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer , service agency or the gas supplier.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
T ools Required for Installation:
1. Phillips screwdriver
2. 10 mm socket with ratchet.
3. Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
NOTE: GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
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
15
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFP A 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) garden hose type
so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST
be between 30 and 120 pounds per square inch
(maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.)
Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure. The hot water temperature should be about
140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
DRAIN 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)
