Drain system 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 fl oor should be:

Minimum height:   24 in. (61 cm)

Maximum height:  96 in. (244 cm)

Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within hose 

length of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST 

be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose 

connection. Water pressure MUST be between 30 and 

120 psi. Pressure difference between hot and cold cannot 

be more than 10 psi. Your water department can advise 

you of your water pressure.

  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.

whether the appliance is properly grounded.
