Optional pedestal

Pedestal !	Approximate	Color	Model!
Height	Height with!		Number
	Washer
10" (254 mm)	46" (1168 mm)	White	WHP1000SQ
15.5" (394 mm)	51.5" (1308 mm)	White	WHP1500SQ

Stack Kit

Are you planning to stack your washer and dryer? To do so you will need to purchase a Stack Kit.

To order, call the dealer from whom you purchased your washer or refer to the “Assistance or Service” section. Ask for Part Number 8572546.

Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

■A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

■A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).

■A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

■A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).

Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.

4

Installation clearances

■The location must be large enough to allow the washer door ! to be fully opened.

■Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90°, and it is not reversible.

■Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.

■Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer ! is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

■Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, #re, or electrical shock.

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove Transport System

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

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

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its final location.

There are 4 transport bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

1.On the back of the washer, loosen the 4 transport bolts using a 13 mm wrench.

2.Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt.

3.Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached cap.

4.Cover the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

Connect the Inlet Hoses

Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

AB

A.Coupling

B.Washer

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure washer drum is empty and flat washers have been placed into hose couplings. Both hoses must be used for the washer to work properly.

1.Attach a hose to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

2.Attach a hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

3.Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional ! two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling or water faucet can result. Both faucets must be turned on for the washer to work properly.

Clear the water lines

■Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

■Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
