Basic location requirements
Electrical
•120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
•Individual branch circuit serving only your Washer is recommended.
•Your washer is equipped with a power cord.
CAUTION
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for this appliance.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will 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 outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
An improperly connected equipmentgrounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Important safety precautions
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, 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.
CAUTION
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116 psi (137 to 800 kPa) is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.
16 English
WA3400T_DC68-03850E-02_EN.indd 16 |
2020-12-02 2:29:00 |
The water faucets must be within 4 feet (122 cm) to the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.
NOTE
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet (275 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 fittings.
WARNING
Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in (99 cm). The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the pump, hoses, and other components.

The water supply hose connected to the hot faucet must be connected to the hot water supply intake and the water hose connected to the cold faucet must be connected to the cold water supply intake.
5.Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a plier.
NOTE
To ensure the correct water usage, connect both the hot and cold water faucets. If either or both are not connected, an “4C” (no fill) code can be displayed.
NOTE
If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap into the hot water supply intake hole. In this case, you must select the Tap Cold for the water temperature. If you select the Tap Cold, all the lamps for the water temperature options are turned off.
CAUTION
Confirm that the water supply hoses are not twisted or bent. If the hoses are twisted or bent, the hoses can leak and cause electric shock due to the water leakage.
6.Turn on the hot and cold water supplies and check all the water supply intake connections and the faucets for water leaks.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Loading your washer
|
WA45T3400** |
• Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes |
|
|
evenly around in order to enhance |
|
|
washing efficiency and prevent excess |
|
|
wear, or wrinkling of the load. |
|
|
• For optimal washing performance, make |
|
|
sure the laundry is piled up evenly. |
|
|
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, |
|
|
and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle |
|
|
with similar lightweight items. |
|
|
• When washing big bulky items or a |
|
WA44A34**A* |
few smaller items that don’t fill the tub |
|
completely – a rug, a pillow, stuffed toys, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
or one or two sweaters, for example – add |
|
|
a few towels to improve spin performance. |
|
|
• Do not insert bulky items except for |
|
|
Bedding in this cycle. |
|
|
NOTE |
|
|
During the spin cycle, the washer may add |
|
|
additional water to redistribute the clothes |
|
|
and correct an imbalance inside the drum. |
|
|
• When washing heavily soiled loads, do |
|
|
not overload your washer to ensure good |
|
|
cleaning results. |
|
|
CAUTION |
|
|
• Inflatable items may cause damage to the |
|
|
laundry or the machine during the wash or |
|
|
drying process. |
|
|
• Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts |
|
|
are safer and cleaner to wash one item at |
|
|
a time. Two different-sized blankets in the |
|
|
same load may compromise the drying |
|
|
performance due to unbalanced loads. |
