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) and have threading for laundry hose
connection. Water pressure MUST be between 30 and 120
psi. Pressure di ff erence between hot and cold cannot be
more than 10 psi. Your water department can advise you of
your water pressure.
1 The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
Ground requirements
Electrical system requirements
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). If in doubt, call
a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut o ff 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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
