Kenmore 110.4472 - Manual (Page 6)

Selecting the proper location for your washer Improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,
closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”
IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the
washer.
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See “Electrical Requirements.”
■ Hot and cold water faucets located within 3V2 ft (1.1 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 5-100 psi
(34.5-690 kPa).
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of %" (1.9 cm) under
entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
■ A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water
and load) of 260 lbs (118 kg).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below
32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care” for winterizing
information.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances may be required for wail, door and floor
moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the
top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with
air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
AWARNING
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.
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 recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong grounding plug.
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.
