Safety Precautions
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING :
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
WARNING :
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
under any circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
