ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

DRAIN SYSTEM

Drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid siphoning, only 4.5" (114 mm) of drain hose should be inside standpipe. Always secure drain hose
with cable tie.

4.5"
(114 mm)
Minimum diameter for a standpipe drain: 2" (51 mm). Minimum
carry-away capacity: 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 1/4" (6 mm)
diameter to 1" (25 mm) diameter Standpipe Adapter Kit is
available (Part Number 3363920). Top of standpipe must be at
least 30" (762 mm) high; install no higher than 96" (2.44 m) from
bottom of washer. If you have an overhead sewer and need to
pump higher than 96" (2.44 m), a sump pump and associated

All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for
closet door ventilation openings which are the minimum required.
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances
and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings.
Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open.
Add spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of washer to reduce
noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top
and bottom air openings in door are required.
Laundry tub drain system

(114 mm)
Minimum capacity: 20 gal. (76 L). Top of laundry tub must
be at least 30" (762 mm) above floor; install no higher than
96" (2.44 m) from bottom of washer.
Floor drain system
Floor drain system requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number
285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285835), and an
Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863) that may be
purchased separately. See "Alternate Parts". Minimum siphon
break height: 28" (710 mm) from bottom of washer. (Additional
hoses may be needed.)
