1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path
of least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power
supply cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug, the plug
MUST be plugged into an appropriate, cop-
per wired receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical
Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or in
Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1
part 1. If in doubt, call a licensed electri-
cian. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding
prong on the power supply cord. In situations
where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is
the owner’s responsibility to have a licensed
electrician replace it with a properly ground-
ed three prong grounding type receptacle.
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed
within hose length of your washer’s water inlet.
The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with
threading for laundry hose connection. Water
pressure MUST be between 30 and 120 psi.
Pressure diff erence between hot and cold can-
not be more than 10 psi. Your water department
can advise you of your water pressure.

Because of potentially inconsistent voltage
capabilities, the use of this washer with power
created by gas powered generators, solar
powered generators, wind powered generators
or any other generator other than the local
utility company is not recommended.
NOTE
