Grounding requirements

WARNING

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.

1. 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.

2. 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/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or in Canada, the Canadian electrical code C22.1 part 1. 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.

NOTE

Drain hose length is 59 in. (150 cm). For installations requiring a longer drain hose, use hose P/N 137098000, available from an authorized parts distributor.
