IMPORTANT
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR WASHER:
1 ... in an area exposed to dripping water or outside
weather conditions. The ambient temperature should
never be below 60° F (15.6° C) to maximize detergent
effectiveness.
2 ... in an area (garage or garage-type building) where
gasoline or other flammables (including automobiles) are
kept or stored.
3 ... on carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope
of 1 inch (2.5 cm). To minimize vibration or movement,
reinforcement of the floor may be necessary.

4Installation Requirements
NOTE
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not required.
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.
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.

Drain system requirements
1Drain capable of eliminating 6 gals (22.5 L) per minute.
2A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm) minimum.
3The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 56.5 in. (144 cm)
Water supply requirements
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 10 and 110 psi. Pressure
difference 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 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 owner’s responsibility to have a licensed electrician
replace it with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.

washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable
corner-to-corner.
3 Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for
the slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg(s)
so the washer sits solidly on the floor on ALL four legs.
