GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of damage or failure,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of
least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance features a cord with an
equipmentĆgrounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet
which has been properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
regulations and ordinances.
d WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have
the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service
technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the washer has been
properly grounded.

the appliance - if it will not fit in the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
