ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Read these instructions completely
and carefully.
CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15-amp branch circuit fused with 15-amp time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY – 2-wire, with ground, 120-volt, single-
phase, 60-Hz, Alternating Current.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE – Properly grounded
3-prong receptacle to be located so the power supply cord
is accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:
equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an
appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the
power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot
receptacle is present, it is the owner's responsibility to
have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly
grounded three-prong grounding-type receptacle.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The
faucets MUST be 3/4" (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so
inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be
between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum
unbalanced pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your water
department can advise you of your water pressure.
The hot water temperature should be set to deliver
water at 120° to 140°F (48°–60°C).

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L)
per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1 1/4" (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor
should be:
Minimum height: 24" (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96" (244 cm)
NOTE: The drain hose attached to the washer can reach
a 90" (229 cm) high standpipe. For a higher standpipe,
contact an authorized parts distributor. If the drain is less
than 24" (61 cm), install a siphon break kit, available at
your local hardware store.
