SECTION C - INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Full Size Automatic Washer
Before beginning installation, carefully read these
instructions. This will simplify the installation and
ensure the washer is installed correctly and safely.
Leave these instructions near the washer after
installation for future reference.
NOTE: The electrical service to the washer must
conform with local codes and ordinances and the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, or in Canada, CSA 22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools Required for Installation:
1. 3/8 in. socket with ratchet.
2. Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
3. Carpenters level.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CIRCUIT
- Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY
- 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt, single
phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE
- Properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the washer is in an installed position.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
1. The washer
MUST
be grounded. In the event of a
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). 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 owners responsibility to have a licensed
electrician replace it with a
properly grounded
three prong grounding type receptacle.
3. For added personal safety, connect a separate
ground wire (No. 18 minimum) from a top panel
hinge screw on the rear of the washer to a grounded
cold water pipe.
DO NOT
ground to a gas supply
pipe or hot water pipe.
4. Grounded cold water pipe
MUST
have metal
continuity to electrical ground and
MUST
register
no more than 25 ohms resistance. It
MUST
not be
interrupted by plastic, rubber, or other electrical
insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings,
washers, gaskets (including water meter or pump).
Any electrically insulated connector should be
jumped with a length of No. 4 copper wire securely
clamped to bare metal at both ends with a UL
approved ground clamp.
5. If a grounded water pipe is not available, a ground
rod
MUST
be used and register no more than 25
ohms resistance when in the ground. Drive the rod
into the ground outside the dwelling and connect a
grounding wire (12 AWG or heavier) between the
grounding screw and the grounding rod. It may take
more than one ground rod to not exceed 25 ohms
resistance to ground.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets
MUST
be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washers water inlet. The
faucets
MUST
be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type
so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure
MUST
be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch
(maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.)
Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure. The hot water temperature should be about
140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
