ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS n A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit breaker serving only this appliance be provided. n This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. n To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded 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 grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. n If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. n Do not ground to a gas pipe. n Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded. n Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
