GROUNDING

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

!WARNING

•Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.

70-Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility and obli- gation of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

ADDITIONAL GROUNDING CONNECTIONS

A grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) is available. It contains the ground wire, clamp, ground screw and washer. Connect the ground wire to back of unit with the cabinet ground screw and washer. Secure the other end of ground wire to a grounded COLD metal water pipe.

NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT WATER PIPES.

WATER

Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required to correctly fill the washer in the proper time. Pressures of less than 20 p.s.i. may cause a failure in the water valve, detergent dispenser, fabric softener dispenser or bleach dispenser. Low pressure may also cause the fill times to be extended past the time the washer is allowed to fill. The water valve may not shut off completely when the pressure is insufficient.

Hot and Cold water faucet’s must be within 4 feet of the back of the washer for inlet hoses provided with the washer. NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet for faucet’s more than 4 feet from the back of the washer. See accessory parts section.

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE LEAK, ALWAYS HAVE FAUCET’S ACCESSIBLE AND TURN OFF FAUCET’S WHEN WASHER IS NOT IN USE.

Water heater should be set to deliver a minimum of 120° – 140° F (49° – 60° C) water to the washer.
