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.
Gas models
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
Electric models
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.
