REQUIREMENTS
EXPORT MODELS – 50 HZ AND 60 HZ
A washer must be used on the voltage and fre-
quency it was designed for. It should be oper-
ated on an individual branch circuit and fused
by no less than a 15 amp fuse or circuit break-
er for 120 volt units or 10 amp fuse or circuit
breaker on 220–240 volt units. Export models
may require the addition of a plug on the
power cord. It is the responsibility of the
installer to assure that this has been done
properly. Check the data plate to be sure of
voltage and line frequency requirements.
GROUNDING
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON
THIS APPLIANCE.
Appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a 3-prong grounding plug for use in a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
Additional Ground Procedure (where local
codes permit):
It is recommended an additional ground be
installed. A proper external ground MUST
be determined prior to wire hookup.
Consult local building officials and qualified
electrician if in doubt.
For additional grounding a grounding kit
(Part No. 12001875) containing accessory
ground wire, clamp, ground screw and
washer can be purchased. Contact your
authorized Maytag dealer for further
assistance. Follow ALL grounding require-
ments and codes.
EXPORT–specific grounding instructions must
be determined due to variation of electrical
services.
WATER
Water pressure of 20 to 120 p.s.i. is required
to correctly fill the washer to the proper levels.
Pressures of less than 20 p.s.i. may cause a
failure to the water valve. The valve might not
shut off completely.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER
DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE LEAK,
ALWAYS HAVE FAUCETS ACCESSIBLE
AND TURN OFF FAUCETS WHEN WASHER
IS NOT IN USE.
