ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the
thermal cut-off, this washer must not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by the utility.
■
A 220-240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 10-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. If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, a qualified service
agent, or other qualified person to avoid a hazard.
■
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.
