Installation requirements

Electrical supply and grounding
• AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15 AMP fuse or
circuit breaker is required.
• Use an individual branch circuit.
Connect only the washer to the circuit.
To ensure proper grounding, the washer
comes with a power cord featuring a
three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are not sure about
the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does
not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician
to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
• Do NOT use an extension cord.
• Use only the power cord that comes
with the washer.
• Do NOT connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire,
electrical shock, or personal injury, all
wiring and grounding must be done in
accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the
U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes
and ordinances. It is your responsibility
to provide adequate electrical service
for your washer.

Water supply

Proper water pressure for this washer is
between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa).
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa)
may cause the water valve not to close
completely. Or, it may take longer to fill
the drum, causing the washer to turn off.
Faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm)
from the rear of the washer so that the
provided inlet hoses reach the washer.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
• Make sure faucets are easily accessible.
• Turn off the taps when the washer is
not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water inlet
hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washer for the first time,
check all connections at the water valve
and taps for any leaks.
