Whirlpool W10038080 Manual De Usuario

■

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged 
into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed 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 earthed outlet installed by a qualified 
electrician.

■

If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 
earth path is adequate.

■

The installer is to confirm, through the local power supply 
authority, if necessary, that the machine is connected to a 
power supply with a maximum impedance of 0.068 + j0.043 
ohms for phases (RA + jXA) and 0.0455 + j0.02844 ohms for 
neutral (RN + jXN).

■

Do not earth to a gas pipe.

■

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the 
washer is properly earthed. 

■

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

NOTE: To avoid floor damage, set the washer onto cardboard 
before moving across floor.

Removing the shipping material is necessary for proper operation. 
If the shipping material is not removed, the washer will make 
excessive noise. 
1. Move the washer to within approximately 90 cm (3 ft) of its 

final location.

2. The washer must be in the upright position and not tilted 

before removing the shipping material.

3. Locate the yellow shipping materials on the rear of the 

machine, near the bottom. Follow the steps for your particular 
model, either the one with the straight power cord and cord 
restraint or the looped power cord version. 

1. Remove power plug and yellow strap from machine base to 

release the rear leveling system. 

For an earthed, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction 
or breakdown, earthing 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-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The 
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is 
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-

earthing 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 earthed.

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 an earthed metal, 
permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing 
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and 
connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the 
appliance.
