Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord that has 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.
Important Points
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If
the plug will not fit into the outlet have a properly
grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not cut, remove or bypass the grounding prong on the
washer power cord plug.
The washer power cord plug must be easily
accessible when the washer is operating.
When unplugging or plugging in the washer power
cord, grasp the plug. Do not pull on the power cord to
unplug the washer.
The household electrical supply must be suitable for
the voltage specification shown on the washer rating
plate (located inside the washer door, immediately
below the drum opening).
