This washer must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- earthing 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 appliance is properly earthed.

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.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to an earthed metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment earthing conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on the appliance.
