Connect grounding wire to a grounded cold-water pipe* with the clamp and then to the external grounding connector on the washer/dryer. (See Figure 4.) Do Not ground to a gas supply pipe or hot-water pipe. Do Not connect the power supply cord to electric power supply until the appliance is permanently grounded.

l Grounded cold-water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrical insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets (including water meter or pump). Any electrical insulating connector should be jumped as shown in Figure 10 with a length of No.-4 wire securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
