Electrical Requirements
■
A 240 volt, 50 Hz., AC only, 8 - 10-amp, fused electrical
supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
■
This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
earthing plug.
■
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
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
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
earth path is adequate.
■
Do not earth to a gas pipe.
■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly earthed.

before removing the shipping strap.
3. Locate the yellow shipping strap on the rear of the machine

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically earth this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord or an electrical portable
outlet device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
For an earthed, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electrical
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.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to an earthed metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the
appliance.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install washer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
