PRE-INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
Tools Required for Installation:
1.
3/8 in. socket with ratchet.
2.
Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
3.
Carpenter's level.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
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
Improper connection of the 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 a
malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding wilt reduce
the risk of electrical
shock
by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2.
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,
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

it is the owner's responsi-
bility to have a licensed
electrician
replace
it with a
properly
grounded
three
prong grounding
type
receptacle.
3.
For added personal
safety, connect
a separate
ground wire (No. 18 minimum) from a top panel
hinge screw on the rear of the washer to a grounded
cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a gas supply
pipe or hot water pipe.
4.
Grounded
cold water
pipe MUST
have metal
continuity to electrical ground and MUST register
no more than 25 ohms resistance. It MUST not be
interrupted
by plastic, rubber, or other electrical
insulating
connectors
such as hoses,
fittings,
washers, gaskets (including water meter or pump).
Any electrically
insulated
connector
should
be
jumped with a length of No. 4 copper wire securely
clamped
to bare metal at both ends with a UL
approved ground clamp.
5.
If a grounded water pipe is not available, a ground
rod MUST be used and register no more than 25
ohms resistance when in the ground. Drive the rod
into the ground outside the dwelling and connect a
grounding wire (12 AWG or heavier) between the
grounding screw and the grounding rod. It may take
more than one ground rod to not exceed 25 ohms
resistance to ground.
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 inch (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
unbalance
pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your water
department can advise you of your water pressure. The
hot water temperature
should be about 140 degrees F
(60 degrees C).
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1.
Drain capable of eliminating 17 gallons (64.3 L) per
minute.
2.
A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm) minimum.
3.
The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height:
33 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height:
96 in. (244 cm)
T
1"
96" Max.
33" Min.
(244 cm)
(61 cm)
NOTE:
For installations requiring a longer drain hose,
have a qualified technician
install a longer
drain hose according to your model number.
For drain systems in the floor, install a syphon
break kit, P/N 5377678100.
Both parts are
available from an authorized parts distributor.
