Plugging In The Power Cord And Grounding; Test Run - LG WD1873RDW Owner's Manual

Plugging in the power cord and
grounding
Make sure to ground the washing machine to
prevent a short circuit or an electric shock when
plugging in.
Using a 3-prong outlet
Plug in the electrical outlet without additional
grounding.
WARNING
y The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m)
of either side of the washer.
y The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that
the plug is easily accessible.
y Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.
y The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current wiring codes and regulations.
y Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
y It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
product owner to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
y Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or
power plug. Replace or repair it immediately.
Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric
shock, or malfunction.
y Do not modify the power cord and take care not to
damage it when installing or moving the washing
machine. Failure to do so may result in death, fire,
electric shock, or malfunction.
y Make sure that the washing machine is grounded.
y Connect this washing machine to a grounded outlet
conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do
so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
y Do not use adaptors or extension cords. The
washing machine should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. Failure to do so
may result in fire, electric shock or disorder.
