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.
16 English
WA7700J WA48J7700AW 03520D 0] ENindd 16 2(}15/4/16 9:38:32
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.

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
