Water Supply
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES
Hot and cold water faucets must be located within 4 feet of your
washer's water inlets. Measure this to be sure. The faucets must
be threaded for hose connection. You must have between 5 and
100 pounds per square inch water pressure. Ask your water de-
parlment or pump installer. Place your washer where its inlet valve
is protected from freezing. See FIG. 4.
Be sure to run about one gallon of water from each faucet to flush
out any particles before connecting washer inlet hoses.

Drainage
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES
Your washer must drain into a 20-gallon tub or a 2-inch diameter
standpipe. The drain should be able to carry away 17 gallons per
minute. The end of the drain hose must be more than 34 inches
but less than 72 inches above the base of the washer. Ifyou run a
drain hose to a floor drain you MUST install a siphon break. (Part
No. 285320 at Sears Service Dept) NOTE: If you use less than a
2-inch diameter standpipe you MUST run the washer through a
complete cycle to be sure the drain is adequate. There must be an
air gap around the drain hose inside the standpipe. A snug fitcan
cause siphoning action. See FIG. 5.
