ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before you start: remove shipping materials It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer. 1. Move washer ■■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker on a separate circuit serving only this washer is recommended. ■■ This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. ■■ 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. ■■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. ■■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the washer is properly grounded. 36" (914 mm) Move washer to within 3 ft (914 mm) of its final location; it must be in a fully upright position.
