having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Only
place the plug in an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.

are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
~
Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance! If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

connect this appliance to the power
supply. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
This dryer must be vented outdoors
to reduce the risk of fire. Be sure to
observe local building codes.
~
Use flexible or rigid metal pipe for
venting. Non-metallic flexible hose
should not be used, it is a potential fire
hazard.
