WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Check with a licensed elec-
trician 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.
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be
installed within hose length of your washer's
water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4
inch (1.9 cm) with threading for laundry
hose connection. Water pressure MUST be
between 10 and 110 psi. Pressure difference
between hot ad cold cannot be more than 10
psi. Your water department can advise you
of your water pressure.
