Electrical Requirements

120
volt,

the washer. This circuit must be
rated for
15
amperes or more.

ampere time delay fuse or
circuit breaker.

Electrical Code and all local codes

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The washer must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
The washer is equipped with a power
supply cord which has a grounding
conductor and three-prong grounding
plug. For proper grounding, the three-
prong grounding plug must be plugged
into an appropriate three-prong
grounded receptacle or outlet (see the
following figure). The receptacle must
be properly installed and grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the
grounding conductor or the three-prong
grounding plug of the power supply
cord may result in an electrical shock
hazard.
If
there is any doubt as to
whether the washer is properly
grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED
WITH THE WASHER -If
the plug will not
fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified technician.
