Electrical Requirements

A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 A, 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.
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.
