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

hardware store) to rear of dryer as illustrated.
