GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected

The washer must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current.
The 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 qualied electrician
or serviceman if you are in doubt
whether the washer is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided
with the washer; if it will not t
the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
For a permanently connected
washer:
The 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
washer.
