INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Location Requirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise
and possible washer vibration and possible movement. In selecting your washer/dryer location consid-
eration must be taken for the drain system, see "Drain System Options " on page 11,.
Requirements:
1.
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
2.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft.(1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the
back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."
3.
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft.(1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and
water pressure of 7.3 - 145 psi (0.05 - 1 MPa).
4.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 2° under entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor
surfaces, such as carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
5.
A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 280lbs.
6.
DO NOT operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the
washer and can freeze, causing damage in low temperatures.
7.
DO NOT operate washer/dryer if the angle of inclination exceeds 2°. Refer to installation require-
ments page 7.

Installation Clearances

1.
The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be fully opened.
2.
Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens
more than 90°, and it is not reversible.
3.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and floor moldings.
4.
A 25mm or 1" clearance should be maintained on all sides of the appliance to reduce noise
transfer.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Connect to a grounded 3 prong outlet with an individual
branch circuit protected by a 15 amp maximum circuit
breaker.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical
shock, fire or death.

Electrical Requirements

1.
A dedicated NEC compliant 120v/60Hz, 15Amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay
fuse or circuit serving only this appliance must be provided .
2.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.
3.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,3 prong, grounding
type outlet, grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), with local codes and
ordinances.
4.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician
determine that the ground path is adequate.
