whether the appliance is properly grounded.
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.

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.
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/
NFPA70 (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 3/4 inch 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.

Leveling your washer
Excessive noise and vibration can be prevented by
properly leveling the washer.
1 With the washer within 4 feet (1 m) of its final
location, use a carpenter's level to level your
washer front-to-back and side-to-side. For front-to-
back leveling, place edge of the level flush to the
front panel. For side-to-side leveling place the edge
of the level flush to the side panel.
2 Use adjustable pliers 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.

1 Run some water from the hot and cold faucets
to flush the water lines and remove particles
that might ctog the water valve screens and to

Inspect rubber flap on pump outlet. Ensure it is in
place and not folded under or torn.
1 With the spring clamp already installed, place
the drain hose elbow over the pump outlet at the
lower rear of the washer. Ensure the hose elbow is
completely and squarely seated to the pump outlet
before using pliers to move the spring clamp into
place.
2 "Thread" the end of the drain hose upthrough
either of the outer, larger "D" ring retainers below
the top panel.
3 Locate the anti-siphon ring shipped with your
washer. Place it over the end of the drain hose and
