Electrical System Requirements; Grounding Requirements - Electrolux EWFLW65H Technical & Service Manual

Electrical Requirements
Circuit - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15
amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
Power Supply - 2 wire, with ground, 120 volt single
phase, 60 Hz alternating current.
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage
capabilities, the use of this washer with power
created by gas powered generators, solar powered
generators, wind powered generators or any other
generator other than the local utility company is
not recommended.
GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.
Outlet Receptacle - Properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

Grounding Requirements

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. CHECK WITH A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT
AS TO WHETHER THE APPLIANCE IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged
into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a
licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the
grounding prong on the power supply cord. In
situations where a two-slot receptacle is present,
it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed
electrician replace it with a properly grounded three
prong grounding type receptacle.
