Connecting To The Power Supply; Testing The Washer - LG WM9500H*A Owner's Manual

16 INSTALLATION
Connecting to the Power
Supply
The washer should be plugged into a 120-VAC, 60-
Hz grounded 3-prong outlet. Plug in the washer.
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not modify the power cord and plug provided
with the appliance. Take care not to damage it
when installing or moving the washer. Failure to
do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or
malfunction.
• Make sure that the washer is grounded.
• Connect this washer to a grounded outlet
conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure
to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or
malfunction.
• Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of
the power cord. Doing so may cause death, fire,
electric shock, or product malfunction.
• Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If
it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician
• The appliance and outlet must be positioned so
that the plug is easily accessible.
• Do not use adapters or extension cords. Doing
so may result in serious injury, fire, electric
shock, or death.
• For best performance, plug the washer into
its own individual outlet. This helps prevent
overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong
adapter or 3-wire extension cord with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug rated at no less than the
branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord
longer than 3 feet. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in serious injury, fire,
electric shock, or death.
