Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS outlined in this
User Guide before operating this appliance, pages 3 – 5.
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you
are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Important!
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Installation requirements
Location
Your washer must be installed on firm, level flooring to minimize vibration during spin cycles.
Concrete flooring is best, but wood base is sufficient providing the floor support meets FHA
standards.
Your washer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs) to ensure the
opening at the bottom of the machine is not obstructed.
Your washer must also be installed where it is not exposed to the weather.
Plumbing
Water Temperature
Your cold water should not exceed 95˚F (35˚C) and your hot water should not exceed 149˚F (65˚C).
Temperatures above this may damage your washer.
Shut Off Valves
Both hot and cold shut-off valves (faucets) should be available in the laundry area.
Drain
Water may be drained into a standpipe or tub / sink. The standpipe must be 1 ½" (38 mm)
minimum interior diameter and must be open to the atmosphere.
Electrical
This appliance must be supplied with 110V – 120V, 60Hz electrical supply and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
