Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Wall standpipe drain system

Laundry tub drain system

[] A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply

is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this

appliance be provided.

[] This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having

a 3 prong grounding plug.

[] To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

[] If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

[] Do not ground to a gas pipe. [] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

[] Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord=connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). Top of laundry tub must be at least 39" (990 mm) above floor; install no higher than 96" (2.44 m)

from bottom of washer.

IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe or below the top of wash tub. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are

in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected washer: This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead

on the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer, Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Before you start: remove shipping materials It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper

operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

Remove packing tray from tub

1. Move washer

(1.2

shown in Step 7. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts".

(floor drain installations only)

For floor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See "Tools and Parts".

CONNECT INLET NOSES

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet hoses with flat washers (not provided). Do not use old hoses.

NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valves. If you are only connecting to a cold water faucet, you must use a Y-adapter (not provided).

_6, Place drain hose in standpipe

Drain

Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub.

Connect inlet hoses to water faucets

Verify location of hot and cold faucets. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two- thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose for cold water

faucet. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result. HELPFUL TiP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot

water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most standard configurations, hoses will cross over each other when attached correctly.

9. Clear water lines

Standpipe Wall

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket to prevent clogs. Water should run until clear.

0, Connect inlet hoses to washer

tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with cold water inlet valve.

iMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates

for future reference. [] Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.

1 1. Check for leaks

Secure drain hose to laundry tub leg, drain standpipe, or inlet hoses for wall standpipe with beaded tie strap.

LEVEL WASHER

washer back and forth to make sure all four feet make solid contact with floor. If washer is level, skip to step 15, (on

models with metal feet) or step 16 (on models with plastic feet).

Place level here

Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.

adjustable wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer cabinet. Then turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer or counterclockwise

to raise the washer. On models with plastic feet, use adjustable pliers to turn the

plastic leveling foot counterclockwise to lower the washer or clockwise to raise the washer. On all models, recheck levelness

of washer and repeat as needed. HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of washer

about 4" (102 ram) with a wood block or similar object that will support weight of washer.
