LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
nA water heater set to 120° F (49° C).
nA grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft (1.8 m) of power cord on back of washer.
nHot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of hot and cold water fill valves on washer, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).
nA level floor with maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing on carpet or surfaces with foam backing is not recommended.
nFloor 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 floor 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.

nA 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15or 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.
nThis washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.
nTo 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.
nIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
nDo not ground to a gas pipe.
nCheck with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded.
nDo 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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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.
NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set washer onto cardboard before moving it.
1. Move washer
36" |
(914 mm) |
It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.
Move washer to within 4 ft (1.2 m) of its final location. It must be in a fully upright position.
2. Locate transport bolts
Locate four transport bolts on rear of washer.
5
3. Remove transport bolts from washer
Loosen bolts with a 13 mm (1/2") wrench. Slide each bolt and spacer to center of hole. Pull bolts and plastic spacers from back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.
4. Cover bolt holes with transport bolt hole plugs
Close bolt holes on cabinet back with four transport bolt hole plugs included with washer parts.
5. Remove power cord
Pull power cord through opening in rear panel and close hole with attached cap.
NOTE: If washer is transported at later date, call your local service center to avoid suspension and structural damage, a certified technician must properly set up washer for relocation.
6. Place power cord over top
Remove the yellow shipping strap from the cord. Gently place power cord over top of washer to allow free access to back of washer.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has been completed.
Connect Drain Hose
7. Attach drain hose to drain port
Ribs
If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose, squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hose, centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp with pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain port and secure with clamp.
For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 9.
For a floor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form as shown in Step 8. You may need additional parts with separate directions. See “Alternative Parts”.
