Installation Requirements
Electrical system requirements
CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15
amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 2 wire, with ground, !20 volt single
phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.
Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabilities,
the use of this washer with power created by gas
powered generators, solar powered generators, wind
powered generators or any other generator other than
the local utility company is not recommended.
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, caii
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.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - Properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is

inches (107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets
MUST be 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) and have threading for laundry
