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.
For a grounded, cord-connected laundry center:
1. The laundry center 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. If your laundry center 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. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
For a permanently connected laundry center:
The laundry center 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.
