GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Non-Canadian ELECTRIC Dryer
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer
MUST
be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, the plug
MUST
be plugged into an
appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed
electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The 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 or lead on the appliance.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer must be grounded. In the event of a

2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply
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. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.

This dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug for your protection against shock hazard and
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ALL ELECTRIC Dryers
The following are specific
requirements for proper and safe electrical
installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these
instructions can create electrical shock and/or a
fire hazard.
This appliance
MUST
be properly grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly
grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some
extension cords are not designed to withstand the
amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate
the dryer within reach of the receptacle for the length
power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack in
the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in
this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed onto
power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord
can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any
movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a
copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A
chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts.
The proper
wiring and receptacle is a copper wired power cord
with a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE:
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will
have longer drying times than operating on 240 volt
power supply.
