Important Safety Information

About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow

stripe.

Plug on cord must be plugged into appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug on washer cord. If plug will not fit outlet, have qualified electrician install proper outlet.
