Basic location requirements
Electrical
• !20 Volt 60 Hz !5 AMP fuse or circuit
breaker.
• Individual branch circuit serving only
your Washer is recommended.
• Your washer is equipped with a power
cord.
/!X, 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.
z_ WARNING
An improperly connected equipment-
grounding 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.
//iX 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
!16psi (!37 to 800kPa) 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.

The water faucets must be within 4 feet
(!22 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 !0 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.
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.
Alcove or closet installation
Minimum clearances for closet and alcove
installations:
Sides
.... 25mm front 5! mm
,,.,_,.., 6 in / 21_in /
If the washer and dryer are installed
together, the closet front must have at least
a 72 in2(465 cm2)unobstructed air opening.
Your washer alone does not require a
specific air opening.
1 in / CloSet 2 in /
1_52mm 533 mm
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.

STEP 2 Connecting the water supply hose
/_ CAUTION
Before installing the water supply hoses,
make sure there are rubber gaskets (B)
inside the couplings (A) at both ends of each
new water hose. Installing the water supply
hoses without rubber gaskets can cause
water leakage.
/_ CAUTION
When you initially install the washer, be
sure to use new hoses. Failing to do so may
result in a water leakage or overflow and
may damage your property.
/'_ CAUTION
Do not connect multiple water supply hoses
together to increase the length of the supply
hose. Hoses connected this way can leak
and the leakage can cause electrical shock. If
a hose is too short, replace the hose with a
longer, high pressure hose.

When you fasten the fittings, do not fasten
them too tightly or apply tape or sealant to
the faucets or water supply intakes. This can
damage the fittings.
NOTE
After you have connected the water supply
hoses to the faucets, ensure that they are
connected correctly by pulling the water
supply hoses downwards.
3_ Place the unconnected ends of the hoses
into a bucket and open the faucets
connected to the two water supply hoses

& Connect the ends of the water supply
hoses to the water supply intake
connections at the back of the washer.
Z_ CAUTION
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
wrench.
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.

Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
Secure the hose guide (A) to the side of the
basin wall with a hook or to the tap with
a piece of string to prevent the drain hose
from moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
The standpipe (B) and laundry tub (C) must
be no shorter than 39 in (99 cm)* and no
longer than 96 in (245 cm)*.

NOTE
Connect the hose guide (A) within 4 in (!0
cm) _from the end of the drain hose. If the
drain hose is extended more than 4 in (!0
cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold
or microorganisms could spread to the
inside of the washer.
NOTE
The drain hose can be installed to a 95
in (245 cm) maximum, but the draining
capability can be reduced at this height.
It can cause the washer to have an odor
because of remaining water in the drain
system.
NOTE
If the drain hose is installed below 39 in (99
cm), water can be drained in cycles due to a
siphon phenomenon. It causes the washer to
display "4C".
STEP4
Leveling your washer
See if the washer is level by checking the
position of the tub:
1, Slide the washer into position.
2, Open the lid of the washer, and pour
the water into the tub to just below the
pulsator level.
NOTE
J
WA48J _models have the Built-in sink over
the pulsator level. That's why the level is not
revealed. Open the Built-in sink and check
the level with eyes.
