For your personal safety, this appliance
must
be earthed. This appliance is equipped
with a
power supply cord having an earthing plug.
If the power supply cord of this washer is
damaged,
it must be replaced by a special
cord, (Part No. 3353308),
available from the
dealer from whom you purchased the washer,
or an authorized
Whirlpool
service company.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating earthing-type
wall receptacle, earthed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility
and obligation
of the customer
to have the proper earthed wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
See Figure

the proper mating wall
receptacle for the power supply cord plug
