reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded three-prong outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the

appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it
does not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fi re, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.
70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR
HOT WATER PIPES.
CAUTION
Water
Using bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate abnormally.
To correctly fi ll your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-
800 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, may not allow the water valve to
shut off completely, or may extend the fi ll time beyond what your washer controls allow, causing
your washer to turn off . A time limit is built into the controls to prevent extensive fl ooding in your
home if an internal hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your washer to match the inlet
hoses provided with your washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305 cm for faucets that
are further away from the back of your washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
• Have water faucets easily accessible
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
• Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fi ttings.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
