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.
Water supply requirements
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed 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 between 10 and 110 psi. Pressure
difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10 psi.
Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.
