A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. 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 ground plug.

■

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, ground-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.

■

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.

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.

1. 3 prong grounding plug

2. 3 prong grounding-type outlet

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer basket is empty.

Attach the hose with the red coupling to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.

Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.

Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional twothirds turn.

Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD water (top) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE:

Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

Check for leaks

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 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 hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Secure the Drain Hose

Drape the power cord over the console.

Remove any cardboard used to move washer.

Locate the remaining portion of shipping strap (not the end with the cotter pins) from step 3 of “Remove Shipping Strap.”

NOTE:

Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

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.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT (bottom) inlet valve. Attaching the red coupling first makes it easier to tighten connection with pliers. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE:

Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

Remaining portion of Shipping Strap

Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with the tie strap. Push fastener into the nearest hole in the shipping strap. (See illustration 1 or 2 below.)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the drain hose. (See illustration 3 above.)
