FIGURE 1

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance 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 wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1atest edition and all local codes and ordinances. See Figure 1. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Supply

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES Hot and cold water faucets must be located within 4 feet of your

washer's water inlets. Measure this to be sure. The faucets must be threaded for hose connection. You must have between 5 and

100 pounds per square inch water pressure. Ask your water de- parlment or pump installer. Place your washer where itsinlet valve is protected from freezing. See FIG. 4.

Be sure to run about one gallon of water from each faucet to flush out any particles before connecting washer inlet hoses.

Drainage

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES

Your washer must drain into a 20-gallon tub or a 2-inch diameter standpipe. The drain should be able to carry away 17 gallons per

minute. The end of the drain hose must be more than 34 inches but less than 72 inches above the base of the washer. Ifyou run a

drain hose to a floor drain you MUST install a siphon break. (Part No. 285320 at Sears Service Dept) NOTE: If you use less than a 2-inch diameter standpipe you MUST run the washer through a complete cycle to be sure the drain is adequate. There must be an air gap around the drain hose inside the standpipe. A snug fitcan

cause siphoning action. See FIG. 5.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION SPACING

The installation spacing and door opening areas shown are the minimum required for this washer. DIMENSIONS ARE IN INCHES.

Too little space and vent area means there is not enough air moving around your washer. This can cause heat and mois-

ture to build up in the air. Your washer and the area where it's installed could be damaged.

When a door is installed, open areas of at least 48 sq. in. top and 24 sq. in. bottom are required in the door. A

DRAIN PROTECTOR

On installations where "chunks" of lint may cause problems with the drain, itmay be necessary to install a Drain Protec-

tor (Part No. 367031 available through your Sears service department). The Drain Protector will stop the lint from being discharged into the drain. Its function is to break up the large "chunks" of lint into smaller particles and catch

threads and sl3"ings.

FRONT VIEW

(DOOR WITH VENT)

louvered door with air openings at the top and bottom is acceptable. Minimum openings are shown above.

NOTE: Companion appliance spacings should be considered.

Special Reminder: Make sure to shut off the water supply faucets when the washer is not in use.

SERVICE SAVER INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON BACK PAGE.

To install the Drain Protector, push it into the washer drain hose as shown. Itis recommended that a short piece of hose

be placed on the outlet end to prevent splash in a laundry tub or to insure that the Drain Protector will not fallout of

the standpipe and discharge water onto the floor.
