In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current. 2 Since your washer is equipped with a power supply 4 cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord.
