About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is
green
or green with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires
are
NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with
the latest edition of the National Electric Code, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, and such local regulations
as might apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to
have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure your home has adequate
electrical power to operate the dryer.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
• Observe all local codes and ordinances.
• Disconnect electrical power to unit before servicing.
• Ground appliance properly.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure
this appliance is properly grounded.
• DO NOT ground to gas line.
• DO NOT ground to cold water pipe if pipe is
interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets, or other
insulating (nonconducting) materials.
• DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not
fit electrical outlet, have proper outlet installed
by qualified electrician.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit could result in
an electrical shock.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
• DO NOT pinch power cord.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire and exposure to combustion
gases, the dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.
DO NOT exhaust dryer air into a window well, gas vent,
chimney or enclosed, unventilated area, such as an
attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space under a building or
concealed space of a building.
Important Safety Information
Gas Dryer Power Supply
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current. This unit is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three–
slot receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown on the serial plate.
Proper Grounding and Polarization for 120 Volts
Wall Outlets
For the safety of our customers and the service techni-
cian ALL gas dryers have a three–prong power cord and
MUST be connected to a properly polarized and grounded
wall outlet. This information was written for those who do
not understand grounding and polarization of a wall
outlet. A 120 VAC wall outlet must always be wired as
shown below.

Explanation
Polarization –This means that the larger slot must be
neutral and the small slot must be hot (live).
Mispolarized –The outlet is miswired so that the larger
slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral.
Grounded –This means the round hole connection is
connected to ground through a connection to the main
power panel.
Ungrounded –The round hole connection is not
connected to a ground and/or the main power panel.
