PREINSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Water supply requirements
Grounding requirements
Drain system requirements
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by 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), or in Canada, the
Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1.
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.
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be
installed within hose length of your washer’s
water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch
(1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose
connection. Water pressure MUST be
between 20 and 120 psi. Pressure difference
between hot and cold cannot be more than
10 psi. Your water department can advise you
of your water pressure.
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals
(64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18
cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor :
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm).
NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent
voltage capabilities, the use of this washer
with power created by gas powered
generators, solar powered generators,
wind powered generators or any other
generator other than the local utility
company is not recommended.
