Step 6: Plug in the Washer

Washer requires 120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical supply

and comes equipped with a 3-Prong grounding plug.

Refer to serial plate for specific electrical

requirements.

When plugging in the washer:

• DO NOT overload circuits.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
• DO NOT operate both a washer and gas dryer on

the same circuit. Use separately fused 15 Amp

circuits.

The washer is designed to be operated on a separate

branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded,

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit

protected by a 15 Amp fuse, equivalent fusetron or

circuit breaker.

The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord

should be plugged directly into a polarized three-slot

effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 Volts

AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. Refer to Figure 13

to determine correct polarity of the wall receptacle.
