Electrical system requirements
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.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the washer may cause serious injury or death. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
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.
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), or in Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1. 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 hose length 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 20 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.
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
Grounding requirements
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.
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 : Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm) Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm).

IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WASHER:
1. In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.

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.

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electrical shock if contacted during in­stallation.
Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized
• Pump
• Drive motor
• Electrical control boards
• Water valves
IMPORTANT
Save styrofoam base and shipping plug for use to help prevent washer damage during any future moves.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT place the washer onto its back without the shipping bolts.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
To avoid back or other injury, have more than one person move or lift the washer.
5. Remove styrofoam base and shipping plug and set them aside.

Installation Instructions

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-to­rear and side­to-side, and stable corner­to-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.

lower
NOTE
For pedestal installations, see additional installation instructions included with the pedestal.
Connecting inlet water
1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the water valve screens and to deter­mine which faucet is hot and which is cold supply.
2. Check to ensure that the inlet hoses have the rubber washer firmly in place.
Rubber Washers Must Be Present
Hoses are not included with washer purchase. See “Accessories” section for various inlet hose kits to fit your specific installation.
3. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT inlet con­nection on the washer and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD inlet connection on the washer.
The cold water inlet will have a blue cap cover on the inlet connection and the hot water inlet will have a red cap cover on the inlet connection. Additionally, depending on the model, the hot and cold inlet connections will be marked with either an adhesive label or markings directly on the unit to indicate which side is cold and which side is hot.
Tighten by hand until snug. Then tighten each sup­ply connection another 2/3 turn with pliers.
Do not cross thread or over­tighten these connections.
4. Connect the HOT inlet hose to the HOT water supply and the COLD inlet hose to the COLD water supply.
USE ONLY NEW HOSES

Do not bend, kink or pinch water inlet hoses.
6. Turn on the water and check for leaks.
Connecting drain and electrical
1. Verify the anti-siphon disc is in place.
2. Form a “U” shape on the end of the drain hose with the hose pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in a laundry tub or a standpipe and secure the drain hose with the cable tie (provided in the enclosure package) to the standpipe, inlet hose, laundry tub, etc. so the hose does not pull out from the force of the water.
Cable Tie
Anti-Siphon Disc
Insert Less Than 8.5" (21.5 cm)
NOTE
The standpipe inside diameter must be 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) minimum. There must be an air gap around the drain hose in the standpipe. A snug hose fit can cause a siphoning action.
IMPORTANT
Check to ensure the power is off at a circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can cause an elec­trical shock that may result in serious inju­ry or death. Check with a licensed electri­cian if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
