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 Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is the
customer's responsibility to have the wiring
and fuses installed by a qualified electrician
to make sure adequate electrical power is
available to the dryer.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. 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.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the dryer is properly
grounded.
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.
This 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 or
lead on the dryer.
