PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools Required for Installation:
1. 1/4 in. nut driver
2. 3/8 in. socket with ratchet.
3. 3/8 in. open end wrench.
4. 7/16 in. socket with ratchet.
5. 9/16 in. open end wrench.

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
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by 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 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 120 degrees F (49 degrees C).

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (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:
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm)
NOTE:
Drain hose attached to the washer can reach a
58 in. (147 cm) high standpipe. For higher
standpipe use hose P/N 131461201, available
from an authorized parts distributor. If drain is
less than 24 in. (61 cm), install a siphon break
kit, available at your local hardware store.
