GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric 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.

PLUMBING (Water Inlet)

The straight end of these hoses should be connected to the supply (Fig. 4). The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected to the inlet valves on the back of the machine, using one of the washers to make a water tight seal on each connection. The couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should only be used if a leak occurs.

Do not use excessive force (see M, Fig. 1).

The Inlet valves are color-coded:

Red = Hot

White = Cold

It is possible to run the machine on cold water only, but a water supply must be connected to each inlet valve. To do this we suggest you use "F" connector, supplied with the washer-dryer (see N, Fig. 2).

PLUMBING (Water Outlet)

You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water.

The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 20" (50 cm) above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for the water to be discharged into a sink, standpipe or drainpipe.

No more than 6" of the drain hose should insert into a standpipe. Assure an air break is available to prevent the machine from siphoning in a standpipe.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the drain hose is not kinked and the water flow is not restricted.

Standpipe Drain System:

When a standpipe installation is used it must be at least 1¼" (3.2 cm) in diameter with a minimum carry away capacity of 7 gallons (26 liters) per minute.

Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain:

Top of standpipe must be at least 25" (62 cm) high and no higher than 34" (86 cm) from bottom of washer (A & B).
