Before You Install
Consider
Description
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.

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:
About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a
ground wire reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground
wires is green or green with a yellow
stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like
grounding wires are NOT to be used as
current carrying conductors.
