SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
WARNING

circuit protected by a 12 amp circuit breaker.
•
Connect to individual branch circuit.
•
Do not remove the ground prong.
•
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical shock, fire, or
death.
SERVICE PERSONNEL—Some internal parts are intentionally not
grounded and may present a risk of electric shock during servicing. Do
not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized:
electrical valve, drain pump, door lock, dry heater, fan motor.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and
local codes.
Electrical grounding is required for your washer.
•
You must ground your washer. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for the electric current.
•
A 120V, 60 Hz, AC-only,15 or 20 amp, fused electrical supply is
required. We recommend that you use a time-delay fuse or provide a
circuit serving only your washer.
•
Your washer is equipped with a power cord that has a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a matched 3-prong, grounding type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a 3-prong outlet is not
available, contact a qualified electrician to install one. Do not use an
adapter.
•
If codes permit and you use a separate ground wire, we recommend
that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
•
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure your washer is
correctly grounded.
•
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
•
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present
a risk of electric shock only during servicing. When servicing, do not
contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: electrical
valve, drain pump and door lock.
