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, closet, or recessed area. See "Drain System."

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Proper installation is your responsibility. You will need:

• A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."

• Hot and cold water faucets located within 3 ft (90 cm) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi (34.5-690 kPa), Washers with triple dispensers require 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best performance.

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not

recommended.

• A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kgs).

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (O°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See "Washer Care" in the Washer

User Instructions for information on winterizing.

Recessed area or closet installation

The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system (floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor drain system. Select the drain hose installation method you need. See "Tools and Parts."

diameter standpipe adapter kit is available, See "Tools and Parts," The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no

higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer. Toavoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of drain hose

• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.

• Additional clearances may be required for wall, door and floor moldings.

• Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the top and bottom of the door are required (C). Louvered doors

with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Laundry tub drain system (view C)

The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top of the laundry tub must be at least 39" (99 cm) above the floor and

no higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.

Floor drain system (view D)

The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be purchased separately. See "Tools and Parts."

The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (71 cm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.

Toavoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of drain hose should be below the top of the wash tub. Secure drain hose with

beaded tie strap.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

• 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

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 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.

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.
