WARNING
-
The Appliance Should Be Connected To
An Individual Branch Circu
it With No. 14 AWG
Wire And Protected By 15 A Fuse or Breaker.
•
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the washerdryer has been unpacked.
•
Children should never be left alone or unattended in
the area where appliances are located.
•
Washer installation and grounding must be done in
accordance with local codes by a qualified installer.
Installation instructions are included in this manual for
the installer's reference.
•
Use only low sudsing detergents suitable for front
loading washers, or a small amount of regular
detergent. The soap suds should never exceed the midline of the port-hole.
•
The washer mu st be plugge d into a properl y grounded
three (3) prong electrical outlet. For your safety, the
third or round grounding prong must never be
removed. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
•
Repair or replacement of a part should be made only
by a qualified service technician to prevent personal
injury or damage to the machine. Ask your dealer for a
list of authorized repair service companies.
•
Disconnect power to the washer at the circuit breaker
or fuse box, or unplug the machine in an emergency,
or when servicing is required. Have the installer show
you and label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical
disconnect box.
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 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can r esult in a ri sk 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.
The straight end of these hoses should be connected to the
supply (Fig. 4). The 90° angled end of these hoses should be
connected to the inlet valves on the back of the machine,
using one of the washers to make a water tight seal on each
connection. The couplings should be tightened by hand, a
tool should only be used if a leak occurs.
Do not use excessive force (see M, Fig. 1).
Red = Hot
White = Cold
It is possible to run the machine on cold water only, but a
water supply must be connected to each inlet valve. To do
this we suggest you use "F" connector, supplied with the
washer-dryer (see N, Fig. 2).
You should carefully position the d rain hose to avoid kinks
and ensure proper drainage of the water.
The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 20" (50 cm)
above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for
the water to be discharged into a sink, standpipe or drainpipe.
No more than 6" of the drain hose should insert into a standpipe. Assure an air break is available to prevent the machine
from siphoning in a standpipe.
Page 3
IMPORTANT
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked and the water
flow is not restricted.
Standpipe Drain System:
When a st
anpipe installation is used it must be at least
1¼" (3.2 cm) in diameter with a minimum carry away
capacity of 7 gallons (
26 liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain:
Top of standpipe must be at least 25" (62 cm) high and no
higher than 34"
(86 cm) from bottom of washer (A & B).
Page 4
Sink Drainpipe Syste m:
You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid
kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water. Use
a
drain loop or suitable clamp to support drain hose at
25" (62 cm) minimum 34" (86 cm) maximum. The outlet
end of the drain hos
e must be at least 20" (50 cm) above
the base of the machine. Entry into sink drain system
must be above trap. When routing the
drain hose t hrough
cabinets or walls assure no ruff or sharp edges can
damage the drain hose. All sharp edges
MUST
be
covered by a protective material such as electrical or duct
tape. Use a drain hose clamp to secure drain hose to
"Wye" Branch or Di
sposer (not included).
•
You may connect directly to a "Wye" Branch Tailpiece
available at most hardware stores.
You may connect directly to a Disposer
by following
the manufacturer attachment method.
You may connect directly through the floor to a
separate trap. The trap must be vented to prevent
siphoning. To provide proper venting; install an Air
Gap Kit available at most
hardware sto res.
You may connect to the manufacturers sink drain kit
(sold separately) that will supply water from your
faucet and discharge water directly into your sink.
