Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.

•A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recom- mended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

•This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground plug.

•To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, ground-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 out- let installed by a qualified electrician.

•If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician de- termine that the ground path is adequate.

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer: This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor- dance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equip- ment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appli- ance –

if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in- stalled by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
