If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
washer is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

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 resistance 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.

Before you install your washer, remove all shipping material.
