Grounding Requirements
WARNING
Improper 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.
1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
2. This 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/
NFPA 70 (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.
