ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND
PERSONAL INJURY:
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER
PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Washer must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded
15-amp branch circuit fused with 15-amp time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY – 2-wire, with ground, 120-volt,
single-phase, 60-Hz, alternating current.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE – Properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle to be
located so the power supply cord
is accessible when the washer is
in an installed position.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an
appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest
edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT
cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power
supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is
present, it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed
electrician replace it with a properly grounded
three-prong grounding-type receptacle.

pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise
you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature
should be set to deliver water at 120° to 140°F (48°–60°C).
