Electrical Requirements:

  • Voltage: 120 volts
  • Frequency: 60 Hz

  • Circuit: A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is also recommended to have a separate circuit dedicated solely to the appliance.

Drain System Requirements: The washer supports multiple drain system types: floor standpipe, wall standpipe, floor drain, and laundry tub.

  • Standpipe (Floor or Wall):

    • Minimum Diameter: 2 inches (51 mm)
    • Minimum Carry-away Capacity: 17 gallons (64 L) per minute
    • Standpipe Height: Must be at least 39 inches (990 mm) high, and no higher than 96 inches (2.44 m) from the bottom of the washer. If installation higher than 96 inches (2.44 m) is required, a sump pump system will be necessary.
    • Drain Hose Insertion: No more than 4.5 inches (114 mm) of the drain hose should be inside the standpipe to prevent siphoning. The drain hose should be secured with a cable tie.
  • Floor Drain System:

    • Requires a Siphon Break Kit (Part Number 285834), 2 Connector Kits (Part Number 285835), and an Extension Drain Hose (Part Number 285863), all of which must be purchased separately.

Usage Features

Installation Flexibility: The washer is designed for versatile installation in various home environments.

  • Recessed Area or Closet Installation:
    • Recommended Spacing: Dimensions shown indicate recommended spacing. While the washer has been tested for installation with 0 inches (0 mm) clearance on the sides, allowing more space is advised for ease of installation and servicing. Additional spacing for companion appliances and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings should be considered.
    • Noise Reduction: Adding 1 inch (25 mm) of spacing on all sides of the washer can help reduce noise transfer.
    • Closet Door Ventilation: If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top and bottom air openings in the door are required for proper ventilation.
      • Top Air Opening: Minimum 48 square inches (310 cm²)
      • Bottom Air Opening: Minimum 24 square inches (155 cm²)
    • Maximum Recessed Depth: 14 inches (356 mm) from the front of the washer to the wall.
    • Minimum Side Clearance: 1 inch (25 mm) on each side.
    • Minimum Rear Clearance: 4 inches (101 mm) from the back of the washer to the wall.
    • Minimum Front Clearance: 19 inches (482 mm) from the front of the washer to the closet door.

Drain System Compatibility: The washer can be integrated with common household drain systems, including standpipes (wall or floor), floor drains, and laundry tubs, providing adaptability for different plumbing setups.

Maintenance Features

Ease of Servicing: The recommendation to allow extra space around the washer, even when 0-inch side clearance is technically permissible, is primarily for ease of installation and servicing. This suggests that access to the sides of the appliance may be beneficial for maintenance tasks.

Siphon Prevention: Clear instructions are provided for securing the drain hose and maintaining specific insertion depths into standpipes or laundry tubs to prevent siphoning, which can lead to continuous draining and inefficient operation. This is a key aspect of maintaining proper drain function.

Ventilation Requirements: For closet installations, the specified top and bottom air openings are crucial for maintaining adequate airflow, which helps prevent overheating and ensures the longevity and efficient operation of the appliance. This is a preventative maintenance measure to ensure the washer operates within its optimal environmental conditions.

Component Replacement: For floor drain systems, specific kits (Siphon Break Kit, Connector Kits, Extension Drain Hose) are required and can be purchased separately. This indicates that these components are designed to be replaceable, facilitating maintenance and repair if issues arise with the drain system.
