Grounding Instructions

The washer 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 electric current. The washer is equipped

with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor

and a three-prong 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.

●

DO NOT

modify the plug provided with the

washer – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

●

If the laundry room’s electrical supply does not

meet the above specifications and/or if you are

not sure the laundry room has an effective

ground, have a qualified electrician or your local

electrical utility company check it and correct

any problems.

Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the washer is
properly grounded.
