(34.5-690 kPa).
• A level floor with a maximum slope of 3/4″
(2.0 cm) under entire washer. Installing the
washer on carpeting is not recommended.
• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight
(washer, water and load) of 260 lbs (118 kgs).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water
can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care”
in the “Use & Care Guide” for winterizing information.
Recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing allowed, except the closet
door ventilation openings. The dimensions
shown for the closet door ventilation openings
are the minimum required.
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°C)
water to the washer.
• A grounded electrical outlet located within
5 ft (1.5 m) of where the power cord is
attached to the back of the washer (see
“Electrical Requirements”).
A. Front view
B. Side view
C. Closet door with vents
• Additional spacing should be considered for
ease of installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances may be required for
wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1″ (2.5 cm) on all sides
of the washer is recommended to reduce
noise transfer.
• If a closet door is installed, the minimum air
openings in the top and bottom of the door
are required. Louvered doors with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
• Companion appliance spacing should also
be considered.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
t
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure the washer is properly grounded.
• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use 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-ampere, 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 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 qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected
washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction 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-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.
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.

REMOVE SHIPPING MATERIAL
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
Before you install your washer, remove all
shipping material.
4. For permanently installed compact
washers only, use an adjustable wrench
to turn the washer legs out approximately
3/4″ (2.0 cm). This is the recommended
setting. Later adjustment may be needed.
1. To protect the floor, place two corner posts
from the shipping material on the floor in
back of the washer.
2. Firmly grasp the body of the washer and
gently lay it on the corner posts.
3. Remove plastic foam packaging from under washer.
5. Stand the washer up.
6. Remove the tape from the washer lid.
Open the washer lid and remove the foam
shipping piece, parts bag, and hoses from
the washer basket. Close the lid.

clamp over the straight end of the drain
hose 1/4″ (6 mm) from the end.
4. Open the clamp and twist the hose back
and forth while pushing down onto the
drain connector at the bottom of the washer.
Continue until the hose contacts the cabinet.
For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems
1. Open the yellow, single-wire clamp with
pliers, and slide it over the hooked end of
the drain hose to secure the rubber and
corrugated sections together.

7. Attach the hose with the red coupling to
the HOT (right) inlet valve. Attaching the
red coupling first makes it easier to tighten
connection with pliers. Screw the coupling
on by hand until it is seated on the washer.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an
additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not
overtighten the couplings, or damage to
the valves may result.

4. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to
the cold water faucet. Screw the coupling
on by hand until it is seated on the washer.
5. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not
overtighten the couplings, or damage to
the valves may result.
6. Run water through both faucets and inlet
hoses, into a bucket or laundry tub, to get
rid of particles in the water lines that might
clog the inlet valve screens.

the coupling on by hand until it is seated on
the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the couplings,
or damage to the valves may result.
2-7
9. Turn on the water faucets and check for
leaks. A small amount of water might enter
the washer. You will drain this later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use
to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record the
hose installation or replacement dates for future reference.
• If you connect only one water hose, you must
cap off the remaining water inlet port.
• Periodically inspect and replace the hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
SECURE DRAIN HOSE
1. Drape the power cord over the console.
2. Move the washer to its final location and
remove any cardboard used to move
washer.
LEVEL THE WASHER
Properly leveling the washer will help prevent
excessive noise and vibration. To level the
washer:
1. Move the washer to its final location.
2. Check to see if the washer is level. Check
from side-to-side and from front-to-back
by lining up the level with the top edge of
the washer cabinet where it meets the
washer top.
3. Locate the beaded tie strap (supplied).
Beaded Tie Strap
4. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg
or standpipe with the tie strap (see illustrations A and B).
If the washer faucets and the drain
standpipe are recessed, place the hooked
end of the drain hose in the standpipe (see
illustration C). Tightly wrap the tie strap
around the water inlet hoses and the drain
hose.
Do not force excess drain hose back into the
rear of the washer.
3. If the washer is not level, prop up the front
of the washer with the wood block and
adjust the feet up or down as necessary. If
the washer is against a wall, move the
washer out slightly before tipping back.
Repeat this step until washer is level.
