GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

In the event of a malfunction or break- down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding con- ductor and plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and or- dinances.

This installation should be done by an experienced and qualified technician, in accordance with local codes and regulations.

The washing machine is supplied with a 5 ft long, 4 wire cord, ending in a NEMA 14-30 P plug, ready for connection to a 120 V/240V (208 V) 60 Hz, AC power supply.
