ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

The washer must be connected to a properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz.,

AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply. A time-delay fuse or

circuit breaker is recommended.

Failure to do so could result in death, ﬁre or electric shock.

•

If you are in doubt the electric supply provided meets the above requirements,

contact a licensed electrician.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to do so can result in death, ﬁre or electrical shock.

•

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a

separate circuit breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

•

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding

plug.

•

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating,

3prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and

ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a

qualied electrician.

•

Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly

grounded.

•

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected

washer:

The washer must be grounded.

In the event of a malfunction

or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock

by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current.

The washer is equipped with

a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock.

Check with a qualied electrician

or serviceman if you are in doubt

whether the washer is properly

grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided

with the washer; if it will not t

the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualied electrician.

For a permanently connected

washer:

The washer must be connected

to a grounded metal, permanent

wiring system, or an equipment-

grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-

grounding terminal or lead on the

washer.
