For your personal safety, this washer must be
grounded. This washer is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong ground
plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3-
prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have the properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
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 serviceman 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.
For a permanently connected washer:
This washer 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.
If codes permit and a separate
ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if
you are not sure the washer is
properly grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
ground circuit.
