A
Electrically earth this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord or an electrical portable
outlet device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
A 240-volt, 50-Hz., AC-only, 8 - 10-ampere, 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.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
B
earthing plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed 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 earthed outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
earth path is adequate.
Do not earth to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly earthed.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earth circuit.
For an earthed, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
B
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

earthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to an earthed metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the
appliance.
