- 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.
,
,
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.
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/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, it is the owner's responsibility
to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly
grounded three prong grounding type receptacle.
