The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet which has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local regulations and ordinances. d WARNING Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the washer has been properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. d WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the washing machine to the power supply.
