ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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.

appliance be provided.

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

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

washer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
