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 installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The
faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type
