Installation Instructions - Whirlpool 8MWTW1612 Use And Care Manual

In order to reduce the danger at the minimum for
possible electric shocks, the cable must be plugged in
a grounded 3 prong outlet, according to the local
codes and standards. If there is not available an
equivalent outlet, it is responsibility and obligation of
the costumer to have a proper plug with grounded
connection installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes allow it and the ground wire connection is
separated, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determines if the grounded connection is
adequate.
If you are not sure the ground connection of the
washer is the proper one, verify it with a qualified
electrician.
NOTE: If the electric cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
an original electric wire and the replacement must be made by
an electrician.
