ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow
these instructions 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 qualified electrician.
• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended
that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified 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:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This 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 qualified electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently
connected washer:
This 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 appliance.
