For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance 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 wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1atest edition and all local codes and
ordinances. See Figure 1. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Water Supply
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES
Hot and cold water faucets must be located within 4 feet of your
washer's water inlets. Measure this to be sure. The faucets must
be threaded for hose connection. You must have between 5 and
100 pounds per square inch water pressure. Ask your water de-
parlment or pump installer. Place your washer where its inlet valve
is protected from freezing. See FIG. 4.
Be sure to run about one gallon of water from each faucet to flush
out any particles before connecting washer inlet hoses.

Drainage
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES
Your washer must drain into a 20-gallon tub or a 2-inch diameter
standpipe. The drain should be able to carry away 17 gallons per
minute. The end of the drain hose must be more than 34 inches
but less than 72 inches above the base of the washer. Ifyou run a
drain hose to a floor drain you MUST install a siphon break. (Part
No. 285320 at Sears Service Dept) NOTE: If you use less than a
2-inch diameter standpipe you MUST run the washer through a
complete cycle to be sure the drain is adequate. There must be an
air gap around the drain hose inside the standpipe. A snug fitcan
cause siphoning action. See FIG. 5.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION SPACING
The installation spacing and door opening areas shown are
the minimum required for this washer. DIMENSIONS ARE
IN INCHES.
Too little space and vent area means there is not enough air
moving around your washer. This can cause heat and mois-
ture to build up in the air. Your washer and the area where
it's installed could be damaged.
When a door is installed, open areas of at least 48 sq. in.
top and 24 sq. in. bottom are required in the door. A
louvered door with air openings at the top and bottom is
acceptable. Minimum openings are shown above.
NOTE: Companion appliance spacings should be
considered.
Special Reminder: Make sure to shut off the water supply
faucets when the washer is not in use.
SERVICE SAVER INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON BACK PAGE.
DRAIN PROTECTOR
On installations where "chunks" of lint may cause problems
with the drain, it may be necessary to install a Drain Protec-
tor (Part No. 367031 available through your Sears service
department). The Drain Protector will stop the lint from
being discharged into the drain. Its function is to break up
the large "chunks" of lint into smaller particles and catch
threads and sl3"ings.
To install the Drain Protector, push it into the washer drain
hose as shown. It is recommended that a short piece of hose
be placed on the outlet end to prevent splash in a laundry
tub or to insure that the Drain Protector will not fall out of
the standpipe and discharge water onto the floor.

STEP 4
Place the formed rubber end of the drain hose in a drain tub
or standpipe. The formed rubber end of the drain hose swiv-
els so the hose can be put into the tub or standpipe without
kinking. A clamp holds the end in position. After setting the
formed rubber end of the drain hose, secure it on the hose
with the single wire clamp from the parrs bag. The end of
the drain hose must be at least 34 inches above the floor
but not more than 72 inches.

STEP 5
Possible Property Damage
Failure to secure the drain hose with the ship-
ping strap could allow the hose to come loose
and result in water damage to the floor.
Cut here for
recessed wall
installation
After the yellow shipping strap has been removed from the
washer, cut it about 15 inches from the end with the peg.
Pull the strap with the peg out of the power cord plug.
Use the portion of the shipping strap with the peg to secure
the drain hose to the drain tub or standpipe.
Dispose of the rest of the strap.
•FAILURE TO SECURE DRAIN HOSE COULD
RESULT IN WATER DAMAGE TO FLOOR.
•DO NOT FORCE EXCESS LENGTH OF DRAIN
HOSE DOWN STANDPIPE. THIS COULD CAUSE
SIPHONING. i
Wrap the strap around the drain hose and tub leg or
standpipe until it is tight, then push the peg through the
nearest hole in the strap.
Recycling this portion of the shipping strap instead of
throwing it away can help the environment by conserving
landfill space. We also suggest you save the pins for
another use.
If the drain standpipe is directly behind the washer, be
sure to measure the drain hose. If the drain hose must be
shortened order Hose Kit, Part No. 285442 from Sears
Service Dept. The drain hose must fit into the standpipe so
there is an air gap all around it. A snug fit may cause
siphoning action.

If needed, additional drain hose Part No. 388423 and Hose
Kit Part No. 285442 can be purchased from your local
Sears Service Dept.
When water faucets and standpipe are built into the wall,
secure the drain hose with the shipping strap as follows:
A. Wrap the shipping strap around the water faucet bodies,
(Do not wrap around handles or stems) and the drain
hose in a "figure 8". Secure the strap with the peg
through the nearest hole.
B. Wrap the shipping strap around the drain hose and the
water inlet hoses. Secure the strap with the peg through
the nearest hole.
