A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
■
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on
a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having
■
a 3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
■
plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-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.
■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure
■
the washer is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
