Electrical Requirements

■ 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 an
earthed plug.
■
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into an earthed socket 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.
■ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent, or a qualified person.
■ Do not earth to a gas pipe.
■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly earthed.
