result in electric shock. Have the
appliance checked by a qualified
technician or licensed electrician if you

This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown,

and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with local codes and
ordinances. To ground the appliance
use a 3 pin plug and properly grounded
socket of 16 A rating.

into outlet have a properly grounded
outlet installed by qualified
electrician. Do not cut, remove or
bypass the grounding prong on the
washing machine power cord plug.
