14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY The washer should be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3-prong (grounded) outlet. Plug in the washer. WARNING yyImproper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if there is doubt that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. Never damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord. If the cord does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death. WARNING yyThe power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m) of either side of the washer. yyThe appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible. yyPlug the washer into an electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. For best performance, plug the washer into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer than three feet. Failure to follow these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death. yyThe outlet must be grounded in accordance with current wiring codes and regulations. yyTime-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. yyIt is the personal responsibility and obligation of the product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. yyDo not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction. yyDo not modify the power cord and take care not to damage it when installing or moving the washing machine. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction. yyMake sure that the washing machine is grounded. yyConnect this washing machine to a grounded outlet conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction. yyDo not damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord.
