ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

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

WARNING: 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 providing 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″ (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.

The hot water temperature should be set to deliver water at 120° to 140°F (48°–60°C).

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1.Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per minute.

2.A standpipe diameter of 1 1/4″ (3.18 cm) minimum.

3.The standpipe height above the floor should be:

Minimum height: 24″ (61 cm)

Maximum height: 96″ (244 cm)
