Electrical system

requirements

NOTE

Because of potentially inconsistent voltage

capabilities, the use of this washer with power

created by gas powered generators, solar pow-

ered generators, wind powered generators or

any other generator other than the local utility

company is not recommended.

NOTE

GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) receptacle is

not required.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment

grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electrical shock. Check with a licensed elec-

trician 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, ground-

ing 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 accor-

dance 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.

NOTE

If you have an Electrolux compact dryer model

number ELFE4222AW or ELFE422CAW, you

may choose to power your Electrolux compact

washer through it. See Illustrations.
