• !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.

/_ 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

WAS000LWA8700J WA52J 0f_lltf_Y 01 ENJndd 16 2015/4/2(/ 15:1tf_:42

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 /

follow basic precautions, including the following:

Loading your washer

• You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes, but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub any more than 3/4 full.

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.

• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.

To add a forgotten item:

1, Press Start/Pause to pause the washer. 2, Wait for the door to unlock automatically, and then open the door. 3, Add the item, close the door, and then press Start/Pause. The cycle will resume.
