Water
To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116psi (137-
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137kPa) may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the
water valve to shut off completely. Or, it may extend the fill time beyond what your washer
controls allow, resulting in your washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the
event of an internal hose becoming loose and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 ft.(122cm) of the back of your washer for the inlet hoses
provided with your washer.
_
ccessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 ft.(305cm) for faucets that
are further away from the back of 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.
Z_
Check all connections at the water valve and faucet for leaks.
WARNING
Drain facility
The recommended height of the standpipe is 18 in (46 cm). The drain hose must be routed
through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large enough to accept the
outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose is attached at the factory.
Flooring
For best performance, your washer must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floor
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors in vibration and may cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Z_
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
CAUTION
Location
consideration
Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. This can cause damage the
pump, hoses and other components.
