MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply
• 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
• Individual branch circuit serving only your washer is recommended.
• Your washer is equipped with a power cord.
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-
800 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause water valve failure, may not allow the water
valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow,
resulting in your washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding if a
hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 ft. (122 cm) of the back of your washer to match the inlet
hose provided with your washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 ft. (305 cm) for faucets that
are further away from the back of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
• Have water faucets easily accessible.
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks.
Drain facility
If you use a standpipe, the recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in (46 cm). The drain hose
must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to
accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached the factory.
