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
Do not make an airtight seal between the drain hose and the standpipe or restrict the hose; standpipe height limits vary by model (Maytag's high-efficiency guide allows 18 to 96 inches). Source: Maytag - High-Efficiency Washer Installation Instructions
