ADDITIONAL GROUNDING CONNECTIONS
A grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) is available. It contains the ground wire,
clamp, ground screw and washer. Connect the ground wire to back of unit with
the cabinet ground screw and washer. Secure the other end of ground wire to a
grounded COLD metal water pipe.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT WATER PIPES.
WATER
Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required to correctly fill the washer in the proper time. Pressures of less
than 20 p.s.i. may cause a failure in the water valve or the fill times to be extended past what the washer con-
trols will normally allow. The water valve may also not shut off completely.
Hot and Cold water faucets must be within 4 feet of the back of the washer for inlet hoses provided with the
washer. NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet for faucets more than 4
feet from the back of the washer.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE LEAK, ALWAYS HAVE FAUCETS
ACCESSIBLE AND TURN OFF FAUCETS WHEN WASHER IS NOT IN USE.
Water heater should be set to deliver a minimum of 120° – 140° F (49° – 60° C) water to the washer.
