REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL
120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP Fuse
Individual branch circuit serving only the washer is recommended.
The washer is equipped with a power cord.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
EXPORT MODELS – 50 HZ AND 60 HZ
A washer must be used on the voltage and frequency it was designed for. It should be operated on an individual branch circuit and fused by no less than a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker for 120 volt units or 10 amp fuse or circuit breaker on 220–240 volt units. Export models may require the addition of a plug on the power cord. It is the responsibility of the installer to assure that this has been done properly. Check the data plate to be sure of voltage and line frequency requirements.
GROUNDING
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.
Appliance is equipped with a power cord having a 3-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Additional Ground Procedure (where local codes permit):
It is recommended an additional ground be installed. A proper external ground MUST be determined prior to wire hookup.
Consult local building officials and qualified electrician if in doubt.
For additional grounding a grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) containing accessory ground wire, clamp, ground screw and washer can be purchased. Contact your authorized Maytag dealer for further assistance. Follow ALL grounding requirements and codes.
EXPORT–specific grounding instructions must be determined due to variation of electrical services.
WATER
Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required to correctly fill the washer to the proper levels. Pressures of less than 20 p.s.i. may cause a failure to the water valve. The valve might not shut off completely.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE LEAK, ALWAYS HAVE FAUCETS ACCESSIBLE AND TURN OFF FAUCETS WHEN WASHER IS NOT IN USE.
