GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or

breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electrical shock by providing a

path of least resistance for the electric

current. This appliance features a cord

with an equipmentĆgrounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet which has been

properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local regulations

and ordinances.

d

WARNING

d

Improper connection of the

equipment grounding conductor

may result in electric shock. Have

the appliance checked by

a qualified electrician or service

technician if you are in doubt as to

whether the dryer has been properly

grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with

the appliance - if it will not fit in the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by

a qualified electrician or exchange the

cord with an appropriate one rated for

the dryer.
