CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized
and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit
fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or
circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2 wire, with ground,
120 volt single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - Properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle to be
located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the washer is in an
installed position.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or break-
down, grounding will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be in-
stalled 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 be-
tween 20 and 120 psi. Pressure difference
between hot and cold cannot be more
than 10 psi. Your water department can
advise you of your water pressure.
1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals
(64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4 in. (3.18
cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor :
Minimum height: 24 in. (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96 in. (244 cm).
NOTE
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 rec-
ommended.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to wheth-
er the appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding of the washer may
cause serious injury or death. Check with a
licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
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 electrician.
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 responsibil-
ity to have a licensed electrician replace
it with a properly grounded three prong
grounding type receptacle.
