WARNING
• Improperly connecting the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether your
dryer is properly grounded. 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.
• To prevent unnecessary risk of fire,
electrical shock, or personal injury, all
wiring and grounding must be done in
accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the
U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes
and ordinances. It is your responsibility
to provide adequate electrical service
for your dryer.
Grounding
This dryer must be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, the ground
will reduce the risk of electrical shock by
providing a path of least resistance for the
electrical current.
WARNING
• Your dryer has an optional cord with
an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. This cord 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.
Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all
grounding instructions in the “
Grounding ”
section. An individual branch (or separate)
circuit serving only your dryer is
recommended.
Do not use an extension cord.
