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.
n
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
16"
(406 mm)

DRAIN SYSTEM
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"
(990 mm)
8"
(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.
Wall standpipe drain system
8"
(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
8"
(203 mm)
Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). The top of the laundry tub
must be at least 39" (990 mm) above oor.

n
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.
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 qualied electrician.
n
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
n
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
n
Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.
n
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

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.
