PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools Required for Installation:
Phillips screwdriver
10 mm socket with ratchet.
Channel-lock adjustable pliers.
Carpenter's level. PWN
>
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. NOTE: 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.
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.
NOTE: GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
FUNAENAMIM CE 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
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.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s 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 30 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).
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per
minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18 cm)
minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)

place a level on top of the washer. Adjust the leveling legs so the
washer is level front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable corner-to-
corner. Press down on alternate corners and sides and feel for the
slightest movement. Adjust the appropriate leg so the washer is SOLID
on the floor on ALL four legs. Keep the leveling leg extension at a
minimum for best performance of the washer.
Once the unit is level and
stable in it’s final position,turn
the leveling leg lock nuts
against the base of the
washer and tighten with a
wrench.

See additional installation instructions included with the pedestal.
. For undercounter installations the locknuts may need to be removed
before installing. Before installing, verify there is enough clearance for
the washer to be installed with the locknuts included. If space is not
available, remove the locknuts
from the leveling legs and
reinstall each leg by threading
all the way until tight in the
base. Remove the front
