GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected
washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This
washer is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service-
man 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 outlel
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected
washer:
This washer must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the appliance.
