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.
WARNING
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 
serving only this appliance be provided. 
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 
3 prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged 
into a mating, 3 prong, ground-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.
