Shock Hazard

Do Not use an extension cord
with this appliance.

Do Not have a fuse in the
neutral or earthing circuit.

Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the appliance is
properly earthed.

A 240-volt, 50-Hz, 8-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. Time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

For your personal safety, this appliance must
be earthed. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having an earthing plug.

If the power supply cord of this washer is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special

cord, (Part No. 3353308), available from the
dealer from whom you purchased the washer,
or an authorized Whirlpool service company.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating earthing-type
wall receptacle, earthed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer

to have the proper earthed wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure

receptacle for the power supply cord plug
