GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The washing machine must be
grounded. Connecting the appliance
to ground reduces the danger of
electric shock in the event of a
malfunction. The grounding is a
protective conductor which provides
a path of least resistance for the
current. The washing machine
comes complete with a power cord
and plug with the corresponding
protective conductor. The plug must
be inserted into a suitable socket.
The socket must be installed and
grounded in accordance with the
locally applicable regulations.
WARNING! Incorrectly connected
ground conductors will pose the
danger of electric shock. Contact a
qualified electrician or customer
service staff if you have any doubts
as to whether the washing machine
has been grounded properly.
Do not replace or make any changes
to the plug supplied. If there is no
suitable socket available, one must
be installed by a qualified electrician.
