NOTE: The electrical service to the washer must

conform with local codes and ordinances and the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, CSA 22.1 Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

3/8 in. socket with ratchet.

Channel-lock adjustable pliers.

Carpenter's level.

Tools Required for Installation:

ELECTRICAL 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.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE- Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located sothe power supply cord isaccessible when the washer is

in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

conductor can result ina 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 a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.

2. Since your washer isequipped 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 //1 //- Do not,under

two-slot receptacle is present, it is I _/ _qlVL'_W the owner's responsi- L.-/ I1,11 bility to have a licensed electrician Powersupply _

replace it with a properly grounded groundingplug _1_

three prong grounding type receptacle.

3. For added personal safety, connect a separate ground wire (No.

18 minimum) from a top panel hinge screw on the rear of the

washer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to agas supply pipe or hot water pipe.

4. Grounded cold water pipe MUST have metal continuity to electrical ground and MUST register np more than 25 ohms resistance. It MUST not be interrupted by plastic, rubber, or

other electrical insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings, washers, gaskets(including water meter or pump). Any electrically insulated connector should be jumped with a length of No. 4 copper wire securely clamped to bare metal at both ends with a UL approved ground clamp.

5. If a grounded water pipe is not available, a ground rod MUST be used and register no more than 25 ohms resistance when in the ground. Drive the rod into the ground outside the dwelling and connect a grounding wire (12 AWG or heavier) between the grounding screw and the grounding rod. It may take more than one ground rod to not exceed 25 ohms resistance to ground.

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 hosetype so inlet hosescan be connected. Water pressure

MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your water department can

advise you of your water pressure.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gallons (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:

Maximum height:_

;......................................................

33 in. (61 cm) 96 in. (244 cm)

33" Min.

96" Max. (244 cm)

(61 cm)

NOTE: For installations requiring a longer drain hose, have a qualified technician install a longer drain hose (according to your

model number) available from an authorized parts distributor. For drain systems in the floor, install a syphon break kit available

from your local hardware store.

LOCATION OF YOUR WASHER

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 degrees F (15.6 degrees C) for proper washer operation.

2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains or drapes.

3. In an area (garage or garage-type building) where gasoline of other flammables are kept or stored (including

automobiles).

4. On carpet. Floor MUST BE SOLID with a maximum slope of 1 in. (2.54 cm). To ensure vibration or movement does not

occur, REINFORCEMENT of the floor may be necessary.

IMPORTANT MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES When installed in alcove: Sides = 0" (0 cm),

Rear= 0" (0 cm), Top = 20" (50.8 cm). When installed in closet: Sides= 0" (0 cm),

Rear= 0" (0 cm), Top = 20" (50.8 cm), Front = 1" (2.54 cm). Closet door ventilation openings required: 2 louvers each 60 square inches (387 cm2)-- 3 inches (7.6 cm) from bottom and top of door.

UNPACKING

1. Using the four shipping carton corner posts (two on each side), carefully lay the washer on its left side and remove foam shipping

base.

2. Usinga ratchet with 3/8" socket, remove the mechanism shipping bolt and plastic spacer block from the center of the base.

3. Return the washer to an upright position.

4. Remove the tape holding the lid shut and open the lid.

5. Remove the foam tub blocking pad.

6. Remove the inlet hoses (some models have inlet hoses already attached to the water valve) and enclosure package from the

tub.
