DRAIN SYSTEM Drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub. Select method you need. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 39" (990 mm) Wall standpipe Floor standpipe The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of 2" (51 mm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than 17 gal. (64 L) per minute. A 2" (51 mm) diameter to 1" (25 mm) diameter standpipe adapter kit is available. See "Tools and Parts". The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (990 mm) high and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer. 39" (990 mm) 28" (710 mm) Laundry Tub Floor The laundry tub drain system needs a minimum 20 gal. (76 L) capacity laundry tub. The top of the laundry tub must be at least 39" (990 mm) above the floor and no higher than 96" (2.4 m) from the bottom of the washer. The floor drain system requires a siphon break that may be purchased separately. See "Tools and Parts". The siphon break must be a minimum of 28" (710 mm) from the bottom of the washer. Additional hoses might be needed. ■■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended. ■■ 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. ■■ 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 is properly grounded. ■■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. 4
