WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
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 Since your 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.
