conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or servicer if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these warnings can
cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.

following.
• Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. Installation instructions are packed with the washer
for installer's reference. If the washer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.

• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electrical shock, or death.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock from this appliance.
• This washer must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury,
fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow

these warnings can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• The washer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
