ELECTRICAL
120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP Fuse
Individual branch circuit serving only the
washer is recommended.
The washer is equipped with a power cord.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
REQUIREMENTS
EXPORT MODELS – 50 HZ AND 60 HZ
A washer must be used on the voltage and
frequency it was designed for. It should be
operated on an individual branch circuit and
fused by no less than a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker 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:
If a separate ground is required by local
codes 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 requirements and
codes.
A proper external ground MUST be
determined prior to wire hookup. Consult
local building officials and a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
EXPORT–specific grounding instructions must
be determined due to variation of electrical
services.
WATER
Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i. is required to
correctly fill the washer to the proper levels.
Pressures of less than 30 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.
