WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
Use a 120 Volt, 60Hz, 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. We recommend an
individual branch circuit that serves only your washer.
WARNING
Never use an extension cord.
Electrical grounding is required for your washer.
You must ground your washer. IN the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric current.
Your washer is equipped with a power cord with a three-pronged
grounding plug for use in a correctly installed and grounded outlet.
The outlet must be correctly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
• You are responsible for providing adequate electrical services for
your washer.
• An incorrectly connected equipment-grounding conductor
can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceperson if you are not sure whether your washer
is grounded correctly.
• Do not modify the power cord plug that came with your washer.
lf the plug does not fit the outlet, have the correct type outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal
injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with
the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and
local codes and ordinances.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines
•
or hot water pipes.
Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an
•
abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result
in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.
