Choosing a location
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solid, level floor.
Wooden floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration or unbalanced load situations.
Carpeting and soft tile surfaces can contribute to excessive vibration, which can cause your washer to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
Washer dimensions and installation measurements
Warning
• Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, because
your washer always retains some water in its water valve, pump, and
hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, pump, hoses, and other
components.
• Never install on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Electrical requirements
Use a 120 Volt, 60Hz, 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. We recommend an individual branch circuit that serves only
your washer.
Electrical grounding is required for your washer.
You must ground your washer. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your washer is equipped with a power cord with a three-pronged grounding plug for use in a correctly installed
and grounded outlet.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Warning
Never use an extension cord.
Warning
• You are responsible for providing adequate electrical services for your
washer.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all
wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes and
ordinances.
• Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or
hot water pipes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
12

Water requirements
To fill your washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure needs to be between 14 and 116 psi (100 to
800kPa).
If the water pressure is less than 14psi (100kPa):
• The water valve may fail or may not shut off completely.
• The time it takes to fill your washer may be longer than the time your washer controls allow. Your washer will turn
off and report an error. A time-limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes
loose.
• Water inlet hoses must be purchased separately. You can buy inlet hoses in various lengths up to 8 ft. (240 cm).
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
• Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible.
• Turn off the faucets when you are not using your washer.
• Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the water hose fittings.
Drainage requirements
• The recommended height for the drain standpipe is 48in. (122 cm).
• The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe.
• The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
Note
The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.

Step 4: Level your washer
Caution
Do not use your washing machine without leveling. If your washer is not
level, it may:
• Vibrate excessively which can cause your washer to malfunction
• Make excessive noise.
• Indicate error codes E3, E4 or E5 when the washer is running.
Extend the leveling feet only as much as is necessary. If the feet are
extended too much, your washer may vibrate.
Determine if the washer is level by checking the position of the tub or by using a level.
1 Slide the washer into position.
2 Open the lid of the washer, then pour water into the tub to the leveling circle. If the washer is level the water will
touch the leveling circle all the way around. If the washer is not level, the water will only touch part of the
leveling circle.
