WASHER LOCATION
Washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize
vibration during spin cycles. Concrete flooring is best,
but wood base is sufficient providing floor support
meets FHA standards. Washer should not be installed
on rugs or exposed to the weather.
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
ELECTRICAL
This appliance must be supplied with the voltage and
frequency indicated on the rating plate (located on
the back of the washer) and connected to an individual,
properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15- or
20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
If the washer is plugged into the dryer's 115-volt outlet,
then the dryer needs to be on a dedicated circuit.
