Installation Requirements

GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not required.

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.

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.

1  Drain capable of eliminating 6 gals (22.5 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)
Maximum height:  56.5 in. (144 cm)

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 10 and 110 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.
