Recessed area or closet installation
The dimensions shown are for the recommended spacing
allowed (A and B), except the closet door ventilation openings.
The dimensions shown for the closet door ventilation openings
(C) are the minimum required.
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 2.5 cm (1") 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.

Electrical Requirements
A 220 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 8- or 10-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 an
earthing plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed 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 earthed outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
earth path is adequate.
