W A R N I N G
TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, ALL WIRING AND
GROUNDING MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES,
WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA, NO. 70-LASTEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES) OR
THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE CSA C22.1 (FOR CANADA).
GROUNDING
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electrical current.

GAS MODELS

This appliance is equipped with 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.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
If a separate ground is required by local codes, a grounding kit
(Part No.12001875) is available. It contains ground wire, clamp,
ground screw and washer. Connect ground wire to back of unit
with the cabinet ground screw and washer. Secure other end of
ground wire to a suitable external ground connection. The wire
may be secured with the clamp to a grounded COLD metal water
pipe.

ELECTRIC MODELS

U.S.electric models are shipped with a ground strap connected from the neutral terminal block post to the frame of the dryer. If local codes
prohibit the use of the ground strap, the dryer must be grounded in accordance with local codes.
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal.
