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), 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.
NOTE
Drain hose length is 59 in. (150 cm). For
installations requiring a longer drain hose,
use hose P/N 137098000, available from an
authorized parts distributor.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WASHER:
1. ...in an area exposed to dripping water or
outside weather conditions.
2. ...in an area where gasoline or other fl am-
mables are kept or stored. If the washer is
installed in a garage, it must be a minimum
of 18 inches (45.7 cm) above the fl oor.
3. ...on carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a
maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm). To minimize vibration or movement, reinforcement
of the fl oor 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.

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 fi nal 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 fl oor 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.
Connecting inlet water
1. Run some water from the hot and cold
faucets to fl ush the water lines and remove
particles that might clog the water valve

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.
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 fi t can cause a siphoning action.
