- ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - {mproper
connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

malfunction or breakdown, grounding 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 accordance with all local codes
and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA70 (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.
