Electrical Requirements

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-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 a 3
prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, ground-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
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
