GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
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) garden hose type so inlet hoses can be
connected. Water pressure
MUST
be between 30 and 120
pounds per square inch (maximum unbalance pressure, hot vs.
cold, 10 psi.) Your water department can advise you of your
water pressure. The hot water temperature should be about
140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
1.
Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per minute.
