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.
1The 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.
2Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipmentgrounding 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). 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.
