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 your personal safety, this washer must

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.
