GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
m
Improper connection of 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 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.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within
42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The
faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden hose type
so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST
be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch
(maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs. cold, 10 psi.)
Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure. The hot water temperature should be about
120 degrees F (49 degrees C).
DRAIN 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 floor should be;
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm)
NOTE:
Drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 58
in. (147 cm) high standpipe. For higher standpipe
use hose P/N131461201, available from Sears
Parts and Service. If drain is less than 24 in. (61
cm), install a siphon break kit. DIV 26110285320,
available from Sears Parts and Service.
