 A water heater set to 120° F (49° C).

 A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of

power cord on back of washer.

 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 (137.9-689.6 kPa).

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

of 315 lbs (143 kgs).

IMPORTANT: Do not install, store or operate washer where it will be exposed to weather or in temperatures below 32° F (0° C). Water remaining in washer after use may cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care” in Washer Use and Care Guide for winterizing information.

All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for closet door ventilation openings which are the minimum required.

For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and oor moldings.

Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open. 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.

 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: To avoid oor damage, set washer onto cardboard

before moving it.

1. Move washer
