Installing Your Washer
BASIC LOCATION REQUIREMENTS:
ELECTRICAL
• 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 ON 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.
WARNING - 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 in doubt as to 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 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 – 120 psi is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off
completely. Or it 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 in the event of an internal hose becoming loose
and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses provided
with your Washer.
NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm 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 Washer is not in use.
•
Periodically check there is no leakage at water inlet hose fittings.
WARNING - CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
