Before You Install

Consider Description
Location Use dimensions shown in manual to determine space needed for easy
installation and servicing.
Install washer on a solid floor.
Never install washer on a platform or weak
support structure.
Wood floor constructions may sometimes need to be reinforced to minimize
vibration from unbalanced loads.
DO NOT install washer on carpeted floor. Carpet and soft tile surfaces also
contribute to vibration and/or tendency for washer to move slightly during spin
cycle.
Electrical Requirements Washer requires 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply and 3-prong grounding
plug. Power cord is approximately 69” long. Refer to serial plate for specific
requirements. Wiring diagram is located in control hood.
Water Supply Faucets Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4" (19.05 mm) female garde n hose
couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be easi ly accessible and turned off before
extended periods of non-use.
Water Pressure Static pressure measured at faucet must be 20–120 pounds per square inch
(138 to 827 kPa). Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 k Pa)
results in extended washer fill time.
Drain Drain receptacle must be able to handle hose with at least 1¼" (32cm) outside
diameter. End of drain hose must be 36" (91.44 cm) above floor, or water may
run out of washer before end of cycle.
