If necessary, slide the washer out of posi-

washer back into position to confirm lev-
elness to the floor. When the washer is

GROUNDING POLARITY CHECKS

The receptacle used for all Maytag products
operating on 120 Volts AC must be properly
grounded and polarized.
The power cord should be equipped with a
three (3) PRONG POLARIZED GROUNDING
PLUG FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK
HAZARD and should be plugged directly into
a properly grounded and polarized receptacle.
CAUTION: Do not cut or remove the ground-
ing prong from this plug.
It is the responsibility of the person installing
the appliance to ensure it is adequately
grounded and polarized at the point of instal-
lation. Local conditions and requirements
should be taken into consideration. In cases
where only a two (2) prong receptacle is avail-
able, it is the personal responsibility of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly
grounded and polarized three (3) prong recep-
tacle (Figure 1-6).
