Laundry tub drain system (view C)

The laundry tub needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity. The top

of the laundry tub must be at least 34" (864 mm) above the floor

and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer.

Floor drain system (view D)

The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be

purchased separately. See “Alternate Parts.”
The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (711 mm) from the

bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed.

ElectricalRequirements

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is also recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating

outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: The washer/dryer must be electrically grounded

in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local

codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or

with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

washer/dryer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

For a grounded, cord-connected washer/dryer:

This washer/dryer must be grounded. In the event of

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. This washer/dryer is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet

that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or

personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the washer/dryer

is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the washer/dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
