INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING TO THE POWER
SUPPLY
The washer should be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60
Hz, 3-prong (grounded) outlet. Plug in the washer.
WARNING
y Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service technician if there is doubt that the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance. Never damage
or cut off the ground prong of the power cord.
If the cord does not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure
to follow these warnings can result in serious
injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
WARNING
y The power outlet must be within 60 inches
(1.5 m) of either side of the washer.
y The appliance and outlet must be positioned so
that the plug is easily accessible.
y Plug the washer into an electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. For best performance, plug the washer
into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent
overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong
adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug rated at no less than the
branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord
longer than three feet. Failure to follow these
warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.

with current wiring codes and regulations.
y Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.

of the product owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

power plug. Replace or repair it immediately.
Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric
shock, or malfunction.
