Basic location requirements
Electrical
•120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
•Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
•Your washer is equipped with a power cord.
CAUTION
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for 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 three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
An improperly connected equipmentgrounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it does 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 of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
CAUTION
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.

Installation
Installation
The water faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your washer.
NOTE
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet (275 cm) for faucets that are further away from the back of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
•Have water faucets easily accessible.
•Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
•Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
WARNING
Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer 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 to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
20 English
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearances for closet and alcove installations:

1 in / |
Closet |

If the washer and dryer are installed together, the closet front must have at least a 72 in² (465 cm²) unobstructed air opening. Your washer alone does not require a specific air opening.
