Pre-Installation 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.
