Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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.

[] 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 breaker serving only this
appliance be provided.

[] 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman ifyou are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

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 a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
