Miele W 1966 WASHING MACHINE Operating Instructions Manual page 48

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor
and a 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
service representative 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.
