GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
