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.
An improperly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the

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. 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.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot
water pipes.
WARNING
Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 14
to 70psi (100 to 500 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 14psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow
the water valve to shot off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what
your washer controls allow, causing your washer to turn off and alarm error.
A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose
becomes loose.
The water faucet must be within 4 feet / 122cm of the back of your washer to
match the inlet hoses provided with 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.
