GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer: This dryer
must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This dryer uses a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician, or service representative or
personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the
plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected dryer: This
dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal on the appliance.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician, or service representative or
personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
