DRAIN SYSTEM

Drain system can be installed using a oor drain, wall standpipe, oor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need.

Floor standpipe drain system

Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 2" (51 mm). Minimum carry-away capacity: 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. Top of standpipe must be at least 39" (990 mm) high; install no higher than 96" (2.44 m) from bottom of washer. If you must install higher than 96" (2.44 m), you will need a sump pump system.

Wall standpipe drain system

Dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for closet door ventilation openings which are minimum required. This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of 0" (0 mm) clearance on the sides. Consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Add spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.

See requirements for oor standpipe drain system

Floor drain system

Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number

285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285385), and an Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863) that may be purchased separately. To order, please see toll-free phone numbers in your Use and Care Guide. Minimum siphon break: 28" (710 mm) from bottom of washer. (Additional hoses may be needed.)

Laundry tub drain system

Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). Top of laundry tub must be at least 39" (990 mm) above oor; install no higher than 96" (2.44 m) from bottom of washer.

IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 4.5" (113 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe or below the top of wash tub. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

48"

(1.2 m)



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 qualied electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
