This appliance must be properly grounded. In the 
event of breakdown or malfunction, grounding 
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a 
path of least resistance for electric current. The 
cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding 
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must 
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed 
and grounded in accordance with all local codes 
and ordinances. Do not modify the electrical plug 
provided with the appliance – if it does not fit the 
electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician install 
a proper outlet. Make sure the power supply and 
electrical outlet support a 110/120V, 15 amp 
single-phase circuit. 

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may 
result in electric shock. If you are in doubt as to whether the 
appliance is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician or 
service representative.

To prevent accidents, injury and fire, read instructions carefully before 
you install the machine. 

A qualified installer familiar with all local codes and ordinances for 
plumbing and electricity should do the installation and grounding. 
Incorrect installation may cause damage or injury.

Install washer/dryer on a strong, level floor in a protected, dry and 
well-ventilated area with room for electrical cords and hoses behind 
the machine. Temperature should be not less than 38° F (3° C)

Make sure power supply and outlet support a 110/120 V, 15 amp 
single-phase circuit.

Do not use an extension cord. 

If integrity of the machine is in doubt, do not use it. Call Customer
