Important Safety Information
About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

Installation Requirements
Before You Install…
Consider |
Description |
|
|
Location |
Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for easy installation |
|
and servicing. |
|
Install washer on a solid floor. Never install washer on a platform or weak support |
|
structure. |
|
Wood floor constructions may sometimes need to be reinforced to minimize vibration |
|
from unbalanced loads. |
|
DO NOT install washer on carpeted floor. Carpet and soft tile surfaces also con- |
|
tribute to vibration and/or tendency for washer to move slightly during spin cycle. |
|
|
Electrical Requirements |
Washer requires 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply and 3-prong grounding |
|
plug. Power cord is approximately 69" long. Refer to serial plate for specific require- |
|
ments. Wiring diagram is located in control hood. |
|
|
Water Supply Faucets |
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4" (19.05 mm) female garden hose cou- |
|
plings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections. |
|
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be easily accessible and turned off before |
|
extended periods of non-use. |
|
|
Water Pressure |
Static pressure measured at faucet must be 20–120 pounds per square inch (138 to |
|
827 kPa). Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138kPa) results in |
|
extended washer fill time. |
|
|
Drain |
Drain receptacle must be able to handle hose with at least 1-1/4" (32 cm) outside |
|
diameter. End of drain hose must be 36" (91.44 cm) above floor, or water may run |
|
out of washer before end of cycle. |
