■

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical 

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on  

a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.

 

■

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.
