GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS—This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This dishwasher is equipped with a cord having a
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE, ANSI/NPFA NO. 70.
DANGER—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 dishwasher 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.
