INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical system requirements 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. Í 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 recommended. 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 Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. Ground requirements 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 whether the appliance is properly grounded. 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, copper 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). 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 responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded three prong grounding type receptacle. Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug Í NOTE GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is not required. Water supply requirements Hot and cold water 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 difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10 psi. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure. 4
