4 _ Safety Instructions
■
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 technician 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 right.
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.
