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.

Water

To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-
800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi 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 feet/122 cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses
provided with your Washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that
are further away from the back of your Washer.
