20 INSTALLATION Connecting to the Power Supply The washer should be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3-prong outlet. Plug in the washer. WARNING ••Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction. ••Do not modify the power cord and plug provided with the appliance. Do not damage it when installing or moving the washer. Doing so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction. ••Make sure that the washer is grounded. ••Connect this washer to a grounded outlet conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction. ••Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord. Doing so may cause death, fire, electric shock, or product malfunction. ••Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. ••The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible. ••Do not use adapters or extension cords. Doing so may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death. ••For best performance, plug the washer into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. ••If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer than 3 feet. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death. Testing the Washer Check if the washer is properly installed and run a test cycle. 1 Load the washer with 2 pounds of laundry (approximately 2 thick bath towels). 2 Press the Power button. 3 Select the Rinse+Spin. 4 Press the Start/Pause button. The wash cycle starts. 5 Check if water is supplied, that the machine does not rock or vibrate excessively, and that it drains well during the spin cycle. NOTE ••If water leaks during water supply, see Connecting the Water Lines to connect them properly. ••If the washer rocks and vibrates excessively, see Leveling the Appliance to level it again. ••If the drain does not work, see Connecting the Drain Hose to install the hose properly.
