Electrical Requirements

Dangerous Voltage
A 220-240V, 50 Hz., fused electrical supply is required. A
■
time-delay 10-16A fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having
■
a 3 prong earthed 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
earth path is adequate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
■
manufacturer, its service agent, or a qualified person to
avoid a hazard.
Do not earth to a gas pipe.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
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:
Improper connection of the equipment-
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.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the most
