GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses
a 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.
WARNING
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician, or service representative or
personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT
modify the
plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Dryer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances,
or in the absence of local codes, with the latest
edition of the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE,
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 or CANADIAN ELECTRICAL
CODE, CSA C22.1. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are not sure that the dryer is
properly grounded.
•
If required by local codes, an external 18 gauge
or larger copper ground wire (not provided)
may be added. Attach to dryer cabinet with a
#8-18 x ½” sheet metal screw (available at any
