ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – 120 VOLT MODELS
■
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical
supply is required.
■
This Laundry Center is equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3 prong grounding plug.
■
Be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1 – latest
edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269 (U.S.A.), or Canadian Standards
Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Toronto, ON M9W 1R3
CANADA.
■
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure
fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.
■
Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.
■
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.
■
Do not use an extension cord.
■
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
Laundry Center is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected washer/dryer:
This washer/dryer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This washer/dryer uses a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the washer/dryer
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power
cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
