SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNiNG
w
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground
prong from the power cord. To prevent injury to persons or
damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord must be plugged
into a properly grounded outlet.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly grounded.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock or injury.
• Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for specific
electrical requirements for your model. Failure to follow these
instructions can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire
hazard.
• This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric shock
hazard and/or a fire hazard.
• The dryer should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord. Always
grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The
power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric
shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end. The power cord can melt, creating an electric shock and/or
fire hazard.
• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful not to pinch,
crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and
prevent damage to the dryer from fire and electric shock.
