Water, Power and Safety First
Closing the washer's water faucets when the machine is not in use takes pressure off the hoses and valves and limits flooding if a hose gives way. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
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
Set the washer on a solid floor with no more than about 1 inch of slope under the cabinet, adjust the leveling feet, and tighten the locknuts against the cabinet; loose locknuts can cause vibration. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
