ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check to make sure the main power supply and the outlet are appropriate to support a 110/120 V, 15 amp single-phase circuit. The power supply voltage is indicated on the filter door on the bottom right of the washing machine.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the case of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance 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 accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment-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 appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If the power supply cord is damaged in any way please contact the dealer.

Position the appliance so that the plug can be accessed and disconnected easily in case of emergencies.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Before making the water supply connection, allow a quantity of water to flow from the top. The water should be clean and free from impurities, especially where the system is new or has been left unused for a length of time.

There are two hoses provided with the machine. The hot water hose is indicated with a red strip running the length of the hose.

Insert the filter/washer supplied (Fig. 5) before connecting the water inlet hose to the valve. Check that the other end of the hose is tight (Fig. 5A). Turn the supply valve on (Fig. 5B).

The drain outlet should be positioned at a height of between 23” (60 cm) and 35” (90 cm) above the floor (Fig. 6).

NOTE: To prevent siphoning, do not seal the drain hose connection into the drain outlet.

If the machine is not connected to a drain outlet, place the drain hose and bracket supplied over the edge of a sink or wash basin and anchor it in place.
