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. NOTE: The use of this washer with power created by
gas powered generators, solar powered generators, wind powered
generators or and other generator other than the local utility company is
not recommended.
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. NOTE: GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not
required.

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.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of
your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) garden
hose type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be
between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure,
hot vs. cold, 10 psi.) Your water department can advise you of your water
pressure. The hot water temperature should be about 140 degrees F (60
degrees C).
