Installation Requirements

		Before You Install
Consider	Description	ü

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 garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be easily 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 kPa) 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.
