Electrical
ŷ
120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit
breaker.
ŷ
Individual branch circuit serving only
your Washer is recommended.
ŷ
Your washer is equipped with a power
cord.
CAUTION
Never use an extension cord.
Grounding
Electrical grounding is required for this
appliance.
This appliance 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 appliance is equipped with a power
cord having a three-prong grounding plug
for use in a properly installed and grounded
outlet.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING
An improperly connected equipment-
grounding conductor can increase the risk
of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are not sure
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Important safety precautions
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. It is the personal
responsibility of the appliance owner to
provide adequate electrical service for this
appliance.
CAUTION
Never connect the ground wire to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper
amount of time, water pressure of 20 to
116psi (137 to 800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause
water valve failure, or may not allow the
water valve to shut off completely, or may
extend the fill time beyond what your
Washer controls allow, causing your Washer
to turn off. A time limit is built into the
controls to prevent flooding in your home if
a hose becomes loose.
