GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

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
