Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be 3/4 inch 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.
Electrical system requirements
Ground requirements
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.
