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, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

Companion appliance location requirements should also be considered.

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not store or operate the washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

n A water heater set to 120°F (49°C). n A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of

power cord on back of washer. See “Electrical Requirements.” n Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of

hot and cold water ll valves on washer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa). A pressure reduction valve should be used in the supply line where inlet pressure entering the building exceeds 100 PSI (690 kPa) to avoid damage to the washer mixing valve.

n Single washer installations require 12" (300 mm) minimum risers to provide an air cushion and avoid noise and damage to valves.

n A level oor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing on carpet is not recommended.

Floor must support washer’s total weight (with water and load)

of 315 lbs (143 kgs).

n A oor drain under the bulkhead. Prefabricated bulkheads with electrical outlets, water inlet lines, and drain facilities should be used only where local codes permit.

Recessed Area or Closet Installation

This washer may be installed in a recessed area or closet. The installation dimensions shown are the minimum spaces allowable. Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. Companion appliance spacing should be considered.

Minimum installation spacing

DRAIN SYSTEM

(203 mm)

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

Floor standpipe drain system

39"

(203 mm)

Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 2" (51 mm). Minimum carry-away capacity: 10 gal. (38 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.

(990 mm)

Wall standpipe drain system

(203 mm)

Floor drain system

Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number

285320). Minimum siphon break: 28" (710 mm) from bottom of washer. Additional hoses may be needed.

Laundry tub drain system

39"

(990 mm)

Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). The top of the laundry tub must be at least 39" (990 mm) above oor.

See requirements for oor standpipe drain system.

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

1. Move washer to within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of its nal location; it must

be in a fully upright position.

NOTE: To avoid oor damage, set washer onto cardboard before moving it and make sure lid is taped shut.

48"

(1.2 m)

3. Remove tape from washer lid, open lid, and remove cardboard

packing tray from tub. Be sure to remove all parts from tray.

NOTE: Keep tray in case you need to move washer later.

2. To avoid damaging oor, place cardboard supports from

shipping carton on oor behind washer. Tip washer back and place on cardboard supports. Remove shipping base. Set washer upright.

IMPORTANT: Removing shipping base is necessary for proper operation.

NOTE: Keep shipping base in case you need to move

washer later.

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

Proper routing of the drain hose avoids damage to your oor due to water leakage.

Remove drain hose from the washer drum

1. Remove cap from the washer drain port on the back of

the washer.

2. If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, slide it over end as shown.

5. Place hose into standpipe (shown in picture) or over side of laundry tub.

IMPORTANT: Drain hose is not to extend more than 8" (203 mm) inside standpipe; do not force excess hose into standpipe or lay on bottom of laundry tub. Drain hose form must be used.

Drain

(203 mm)

6. For oor drain installations, you will need to remove the drain hose form from the end of the drain hose. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Tools and Parts.”

hose form

3. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide elbow end of drain

hose onto washer drain port and secure with clamp.

4. The washer drain system can be installed using a oor drain, wall standpipe, oor standpipe, or laundry tub.

7. The oor drain system requires a siphon break that may be purchased separately. The siphon break (Part Number 285320) must be a minimum of 28" (710 mm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.

CONNECT INLET HOSES

Insert new hose washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

CouplingWasher

Connect Inlet Hoses to Water Faucets

1. Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling until

it is seated on washer. Repeat process for cold water.

2. Use pliers to tighten the couplings an additional

two-thirds turn.

Connect Inlet Hoses to Washer

1. Attach cold water hose to cold water inlet valve marked

with a blue ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.

2. Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked

with a red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug.

3. Use pliers to tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on valve

when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

3. Secure drain hose to inlet hose with zip strap.

Clear Water Lines

n Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses,

into a laundry tub, drainpipe, or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.

n Check the temperature of the water to make

sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valve can result.

4. Turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small amount

of water may enter washer. It will drain later.

NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.
