n
is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this
appliance be provided.
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having
n
an earthing plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
n
into a mating, earthing-type outlet, earthed 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 earthed outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
If codes permit and a separate earth wire is used, it is
n
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the earth path is adequate.
Do not earth to a gas pipe.
n
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
n
washer is properly earthed.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or earth circuit.
n
When in the installed position, the mains plug must be
n
accessible for disconnection.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
n
manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
earthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
