Topreventunnecessaryriskofre,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.
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:
• 220V~240V50Hz15AMP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electrical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qualiedelectrician.

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4feet(122cm)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10feet(305cm)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rsttime,checkallconnectionsatthewater
valve and taps for leaks.
