of drain hose should be inside standpipe or below the top of wash tub. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap (A).
Floor standpipe drain system
A
Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 2" (51 mm). Minimum carry-away capacity: 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. Some standpipes may require a Standpipe Adapter Kit and additional drain hose that may be purchased separately. See “Tools and Parts”. Top of standpipe must be at least 39" (991 mm) high; install no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from bottom of washer. Installations higher than 96" (2.4 m) require a sump pump system.
Wall standpipe drain system
Dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for closet door ventilation openings which are minimum required. Consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings. Add spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of washer to reduce noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in door are required.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
n
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.
n
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong grounding plug.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
