GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: ,mproper connection ofthe
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk

.
The washer MUSTbe grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
.
Sinceyour washer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug, the plug MUSTbe 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 ElectricalCodes,ANSI/NFPA70 (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,

!20 pounds per square inch. Your water department can
advise you of your water pressure.The hot water
