8.1. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
!
WARNING!
• The washer extractor is intended to be permanently connected to the electrical supply.
• This appliance must be connected to a supply, which no lighting units or general purpose
receptacles are connected"
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all grounding must be
done in accordance with National and local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
(for the United States) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 (for Canada).
• It is the responsibility of the installer to assure the washer is adequately grounded at the point of
installation taking into considerations the National and local conditions and requirements.
• An equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductor and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal on the washer and where possible to a grounded metal, permanent
system, for example a riser.
• If other washers or appliance are in the vicinity, they need to be connected permanently with an
equipment-grounding conductor.
Grounding
In event of malfunction or breakdown or leakage current, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock
and serve as a protecting device, by providing a path of least resistance of electrical current. The gauge or
section of the grounding wire needs to be at least the same as the supply wires.
The supply conductor cable, for the washer, to a grounded power supply network (approved electrical
service) must have copper conductors and with an in line on-off switch.
The wire gauge or wire section depends on the machines total amperage requirement, data on the
nameplate "Max. Supply Protecting Device" of the washer (see also "Technical information"). The
protecting device and wire gauge needs to be installed according to table. Take care that the protecting
devices can be safely accessed by service-maintenance people and protected from unauthorized personnel.
Protecting Device
Note: The wiring diagram for each washer is located inside the cabinet on the left or right panel.
8.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
BEFORE OPERATION or TESTING, follow all grounding instructions in the Electrical Requirements Section.
An individual branch circuit needs to be used for each appliance. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Insert the cable through the hole in the on the rear panel, insure a strain relief is used. Connect the power
cable to the correct terminal post starting with L1 then L2 and if present L3 and Neutral.
The grounding conductor (green-yellow) should be longer then the phase lines, in the event that a cable pulls
out incidentally, the grounding conductor must be last to be disconnected.
When using stranded copper conductors, use "wire end tubes" with an insulated sleeve to avoid accidental
contact.
