Plug the washer into a grounded three-prong outlet on a 15- or 20-amp 120-volt circuit, and never remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
To prevent siphoning, Whirlpool's instructions limit the drain hose to no more than 8 inches inside a standpipe that is at least 2 inches across and 39 to 96 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the washer. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
