BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS:

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and

grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70-Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

GROUNDING

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a 3-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.

ADDITIONAL GROUNDING CONNECTIONS

A grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) is available. It contains the ground wire, clamp, ground screw and washer. Connect the ground wire to back of unit with the cabinet ground screw and washer. Secure the other end of ground wire to a grounded COLD metal water pipe.

NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT WATER PIPES.

WATER

To correctly fill the washer in the proper amount of time, Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause a failure in the water valve and may not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Or may extend the fill time beyond what the washer controls will normally allow and result in the washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal hose becoming loose and avoids a flooded home.

The water valve Hot and Cold water faucets must be within 4 feet of the back of the washer for inlet hoses provided with the washer. NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet for faucets more than 4 feet from the back of the washer.

ELECTRICAL

• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP Fuse or Circuit Breaker

• Individual branch circuit serving only the washer is recommended.

• The washer is equipped with a power cord.

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

WARNING

DRAIN FACILITY

Recommended height of the standpipe is 18”. The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. Standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.

FLOORING

For best performance the washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and/or tendency for a washer to move slightly during the spin cycle. Never install the washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

It is recommended the washer never be installed in areas where water may freeze since the washer will always maintain some water in the water valve, pump and hose areas. This can cause damage to belts, pump, hoses and other components. Operating temperature should be above 60°F.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR CLOSET AND ALCOVE INSTALLATIONS:

Sides – 0 in / 0 mm Rear – 2-3/8 in / 60 mm Top – 17 in / 432 mm Closet Front – 2 in / 51 mm

The closet front must have a total unobstructed air opening of 72 in2. / 465 cm2minimum, if both washer and dryer are installed together. A louvered door with equivalent air opening is acceptable. Washer alone does not require specific air opening.

o Avoid The Possibility Of W

ater Damage:

• Have Water Faucets Easily Accessible

• Turn Off Faucets When Washer Is Not In Use.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please Read The Following Instructions Carefully Before Installing The Washing Machine. These Instructions Should Be Retained For Future Reference. Remove The Door From All Discarded Appliances To Avoid The Danger Of A Child Suffocating.

STEP 1

PREPARE WASHER Removing The Shipping Bolts

Before using the washing machine, you must remove the four shipping bolts from the back of the unit.

1. Loosen all bolts with the supplied wrench before removing them.

2. Slide the bolt and spacer up and remove the bolt with spacer through the hole in the rear wall of the washer. Repeat for each bolt.

3. Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.

4. Keep the shipping bolts and spacers for future use.

STEP 2

INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE Selecting a location

Before you install the washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:

• Ahard, level surface (if the surface is uneven, see “Adjusting the leveling feet,” below)

• Locate away from direct sunlight.

• Adequate ventilation

• Room temperature that will not fall below 32°F or 0°C.

• Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas

• Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.

• Carpeting must not obstruct ventilation openings when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.

96” MAX. 18” MIN.

STEP 3

INSTALL THE WASHER

1. Place the drain hose in the drain facility. Be sure an airtight connection is NOT made between the drain hose and the standpipe. Standpipe must be at least 18” high. NOTE: If drain standpipe is in excess of 5 feet above floor level, a drain hose extension kit (Part #12002482) will need to be installed. If drain standpipe is in excess of 10 feet above floor level, a pump accessory kit (Part #12001674) may need to be installed.

NOTE: Caution must always be exercised to avoid collapsing or

damaging the drain hose. For best performance the drain hose should not be restricted in any way, through elbows, couplings or excessive lengths.

For installations where the drain hose cannot be conveniently elevated to at least 18”, the drain hose must be supported.

2. Check the inlet hose to ensure a washer is inside of each fill hose. Thread the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD faucet connections. On the other end of the hose, check for one rubber washer per hose and install each fill hose to the water valve. Make sure the hose marked “HOT”is attached to the HOT faucet. Tighten by hand until snug and the 2/3 of a turn with pliers. DO NOT OVER

TIGHTEN.

NOTE: For the right use of water, connect both HOT and COLD water valve. If one is not connected, “nF”(No fill) Error can occur.

3. Turn on “HOT” and “COLD” water supply and check all connections at the water valve and the faucet for leaks. NOTE:Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet.

4. Plug power cord into a grounded 120 volt 60 Hz approved electrical service protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. This washer is grounded through the third prong of the power cord when plugged into a three prong grounded receptacle.

5. Slide washer into position.

6. Level washer by turning the leveling legs in or out as necessary by hand. When the washer is level, tighten the leveling leg lock nuts up against the base of the washer using the wrench supplied with the washer. NOTE: The washer must be leveled on all 4 sides. Acarpenter’s level should be used on all 4 corners of the washer. It’s a good idea after the first dozen

washes to recheck the levelness of the washer.
