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 116psi (137 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 (122 cm) to the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your
.
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 |

STEP 1 Selecting a location
NOTE
Before you install the washer, make sure the location:
•Has a hard, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation.
•Is away from direct sunlight.
•Has adequate ventilation.
•Is not exposed to freezing temperatures (temperatures under 32 °F or 0 °C).
•Is away from heat sources such as oil or gas.
•Has enough space so that the washer doesn’t rest on its power cord.

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
B
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
Amay 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.

1.Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the hot (B) and cold (A) faucets.
2.Tighten the fittings by hand until they are snug, and then tighten them an additional two-thirds of a turn with a wrench.
CAUTION
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 for 10 or 15 seconds to remove any foreign substances from the hoses. Close the faucets before continuing.

4.Connect the ends of the water supply hoses to the water supply intake connections at the back of the washer.
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)
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.

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
•Make sure that the connection between the drain hose and the standpipe is not airtight.

|
|
NOTE |
|
Connect the hose guide (A) within 4 in (10 |
|
cm)* from the end of the drain hose. If the |
|
drain hose is extended more than 4 in (10 |
* |
cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold |
or microorganisms could spread to the |
|
A |
inside of the washer. |
|
NOTE |
|
|
|
The drain hose can be installed to a 96 |
|
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”. |
STEP 4 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 |
|
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.

Operating instructions
Operating instructions
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
• 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 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.
