This washer must be grounded. In the event of amal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by providing a path of least resist-
ance 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 ground-
ed inaccordance with all local codes and ordinances.

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
ifyou are in doubt as towhether the appliance is prop-
erly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance -
if it will notfit 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.
