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)

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.

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.
