ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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,
fire, or electrical shock.
[] 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.
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.

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).

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.

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.
Clear water lines
Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry tub,
drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run until clear.
Make note of which hose is connected to hot water to help in
attaching hoses to washer correctly.

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a
red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to
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.
