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 resis-
tance 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 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 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.
