ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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.

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.
