GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:
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 providing a path of
least resistance for electrical current.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42"(107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4"
(1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 100 pounds per
square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature should be set to
deliver water at 120° to 140°F (48° to 60°C).

INSTALLING THE WASHER

1. Pull the drain hose out of the back panel of the washer
as shown. Insert the drain hose into the standpipe and
secure it with a cable tie. (Refer to Drainage installation
requirements).
2. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush
the water lines and remove particles that might clog up
the water valve screens.
3. Remove the inlet hoses from the plastic bag and ensure
that the rubber washers in each end of the inlet hoses are
properly positioned. If mesh washers are included or used,
install tap-side.
4. Install the inlet hoses as shown. Ensure that the cold
water hose and hot water hose are connected to the
correct outlet of the water valve.

2/3 turn with pliers. Do not crossthread or over-tighten
these connections.

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.
6. Place the drain hose into the hose guide and insert the
drain hose in a laundry tub or insert it into the standpipe
and secure it with a cable tie.
7. Carefully move the washer to its final location.
Gently rock the washer into position.
8. With the washer in its final position, place a level on
top of the washer. Adjust the four leveling legs up or
down to ensure the washer is resting firmly and
completely level. All 4 leveling legs must touch the
ground for the washer to maintain stability.
9. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at a circuit
breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord
into an outlet.
