Grounding Instructions

●  

The  dryer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. The dryer is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a three prong 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 the dryer unit-
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

●  

If the laundry room’s electrical supply does not meet
the above specifications and/or if you are not sure the
laundry room has an effective ground, have a
qualified electrician or your local electrical utility
company check it and correct any problems.
