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.

EXPORT–specific grounding instructions must
be determined due to variation of electrical
services.

WATER

Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i.is required to
correctly fill the washer to the proper levels.
Pressures of less than 30 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
