GROuNDING

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of 

electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.

Gasmodels

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 GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES, OR HOT 

WATER PIPES.

Electricmodels

Your dryer has a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, sold

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
