Important to installer
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept for
future reference.
WARNING: Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child being trapped
and suffocating.
Basic requirements
Make sure you have everything necessary for the proper installation
•
A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required.
•
A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).
•
GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.
•
The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.
Grounding
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding the product will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.
Gas models
Your dryer has a cord with 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.
•
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
•
Never connect the ground wire to the plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Electric models
Your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, which is sold
separately.
•
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
•
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
•
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to
a permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
