MEETINGINSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS
Electricalsupplyandgrounding
Never use an extension cord.
Use only the power cord that comes with your washing machine.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
• AC220-240V/50Hzfuseorcircuitbreaker
• Individualbranchcircuitservingonlyyourwashingmachine
Yourwashingmachinemustbegrounded.Ifyourwashingmachinemalfunctionsorbreaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current.
Your washing machine comes with a power cord having a three-prong grounding plug for use in
a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Improperlyconnectingtheequipment-groundingconductorcanresultinelectricshock.
Checkwithaqualiedelectricianorservicemanifyouareunsureifthewashingmachineis
properlygrounded.Donotmodifytheplugprovidedwiththewashingmachine.Ifitdoesnott
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WaterSupply
Yourwashingmachinewillllproperlywhenyourwaterpressureis50kPa~800kPa.Water
pressurelessthan50kPamaycausewatervalvefailure,notallowingthewatervalvetoshut
offcompletely.Or,itmaytakethewashingmachinelongertollthanwhatthecontrolsallow,
resultinginyourwashingmachineturningoff.(All-timelimit,designedtopreventoverows/
oodingifaninternalhosebecomesloose,isbuiltintothecontrols.)
Thewatertapsmustbewithin120cmofthebackofyourwashingmachinefortheprovidedinlet
hoses provided to reach your washing machine.
Mostplumbingsupplystoressellinlethosesofvariouslengthsupto305cmlong.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Makingwatertapseasilyaccessible.
• Turningofftapswhenthewashingmachineisnotinuse.
• Periodicallycheckingforleaksatwaterinlethosettings.
Before using your washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water
valve and taps for leaks.
