Location Requirements
Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet,
or recessed area. See "Drain System."
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
• A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°(3) water to the washer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 fl (1.2 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 fl (90 cm) of the
hot end cold water fill valves, end water pressure of 5-1 go psi
(34.5-690 kPa). Washers with triple dispensers require
20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
washer. Installingthe washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water
and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kgs).
Do not store or operate your washer intemperatures st or below
32°F (0°(3). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in lowtemperatures. See "Washer Care" in the Washer
User Instructions for winterizing information.

The standpipe drain requires e minimum diameter standpipe of
2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no lessthan
17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (5 cm) diameter to 1" (2.5 cm)
diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Tools and Parts."
The top ofthe standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cro) high and no
higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug Into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not usa an adapter.
Do not usa 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
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 h_ard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codas 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 codas permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path isadequate.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified electrician ifyou are not sure the
washer isproperly grounded.
• Do not have a fuse inthe neutral or ground circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event or a malrunction
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-greunding conductor and a grounding plug.The
plug must be plugged intoan 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 he run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-greunding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
