Grounding requirements

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 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) with threading for laundry hose connection. Water pres- sure MUST be between 30 and 120 psi. Pressure difference between hot and cold cannot be more than 10 psi. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.
