01 INSTALLING YOUR WASHER MEETING THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical supply and grounding Never use an extension cord. WARNING Use only the power cord that comes with your washer. When preparing the installation, ensure that your power supply offers: • An AC 120 V / 60 Hz / 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker • An individual branch circuit dedicated to your washer Your washer must be grounded. If your washer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. Your washer comes with a power cord that has 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. WARNING Improperly connecting the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. WARNING Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure if the washer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the washer. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper CAUTION outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Important safety precautions To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and CAUTION 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. Water supply Your washer will fill properly when your water pressure is between 20 psi (137 kPa) to 116 psi (800 kPa). A water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause a water valve failure and not allow the water valve to shut off completely. Alternatively, it may take the washer than allowed by the controls, causing your washer to turn off. (A fill-time limit has been built into the controls, designed to prevent overflows or flooding if an internal hose becomes loose.) The water taps must be within 4 feet (122 cm) of the back of your washer for the provided water supply hoses to reach your washer. Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply hoses of various lengths up to 10 feet (305 cm) long. You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by: • Making water taps easily accessible. • Turning off water taps when the washer is not in use. • Periodically checking the water supply hose fittings for leaks. Before using your washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for leaks. WARNING Using hard water or bad quality water may cause the water supply valve to operate CAUTION abnormally. WF457ARG-03153A-04_EN.indd 17 Installing your washer _17 2012-08-31 12:30:20
