Precautions:

Instructions:
1. Check Voltage and Amperage: Most washing machines operate on 220-240V and have a power rating of 10-15 amps. Make sure the electrical cord and outlet are rated for these ratings.
2. Prepare the electrical cable: Cut off the end of the cable and strip the wires about 1 cm. Sort the wires by color: usually black or brown – phase, blue or white – neutral, and green or yellow-green – ground.
3. Connect the wires to the outlet: Open the outlet panel and connect the wires to the appropriate terminals. The phase wire is connected to the L terminal, the neutral wire is connected to the N terminal, and the ground wire is connected to the ground terminal. Secure the wires with screws.
4. Connect the wires to the washing machine: On the back of the washing machine, open the terminal panel. Connect the wires to the terminals accordingly: live to the L terminal, neutral to the N terminal and ground to the ground terminal. Secure the wires with screws.
5. Install a switch and circuit breaker (recommended): For added safety, you can install a switch or circuit breaker near your washing machine. This will allow you to quickly turn off the power if necessary.
6. Turn on the power: After all connections are completed, turn on the power and check if the washing machine works.
