PRE-INSTALLATION

1.

 The washer must be installed on a strong level floor, and in

protected, dry, and   well-ventilated area close to a power and

water supply of sufficient capacity, and  a sufficient outlet.

of plywood before installation.

accordance with local codes by a qualified installer.

“Installation Instructions” are included in your Use and Care

three (3) prong electrical outlet of 120 Volt, 1300 W, 13 A,

60 Hz. It should not be controlled by a wall switch or pull

cord which might be turned off accidentally.
