PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIRE-
MENTS
PLEASE READ ALL Installation Instruc-
tions and requirements before installing.
...--- GENERAL INFORMATION -----,
DO NOT INSTALL THE WASHER ON
A CARPETED FLOOR.
DO NOT INSTALL OR STORE THE
WASHER WHERE IT WILL BE EX-
POSED TO THE WEATHER.
Installation in any location subject to
freezing temperatures is not recom-
mended. Ifthe washer must be installed
in such a location, it should be thor-
oughly drained after each use as follows:
• Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
• Disconnect both water inlet hoses at
the faucets. Lower them to the floor.
• With the service cord connected to
the electrical outlet, rotate the timer to
the normal start or fill position and
pull timer knob to start washer. Turn
water temperature selector switch to
warm.
• When water stops draining from the
hoses, disconnect service cord.

Lower the drain hose to the floor and
allow it to drain into a floor drain or
shallow pan.
In below-freezing temperatures, ice may
form in the ufill" flume. Raise the room
16007667
temperature and allow time for the ice to
melt before using the washer.
Water Supply Requirements
1. Hot and cold water must be available
at a pressure between 25 and
125 P.S.1. at the machine.
2. Shut off faucets with standard hose
connectors should be available in
both hot and cold water lines so that
the water can always be turned off
when the washer is not in use.
3. The installation should be in accor-
dance with local plumbing code
requirements.
Drain Requirements
A drain that will permit 23 gpm flow is
required to evacuate the washer. A
standpipe at least 32 inches high, but no
more than 60 inches high, should be
installed at the drain. The standpipe
should have a 1 1/2 inch minimum inter-
nal diameter to prevent siphoning.
Tight connections between the drain
hose and the drain (standpipe, etc.) are
not recommended since they violate
most local plumbing codes. In cases
where a tight connection is required,
an anti-siphoning valve, part number
33-4260, should be placed in the drain
hose to prevent siphoning from the
washer or facility during agitation.
