WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• This appliance MUST be properly grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly
grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
• Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some
extension cords are not designed to withstand the
amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes
and can melt, creating electrical shock and/

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1 The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2 After you purchase and install a 3 wire or 4 wire

conductor and a grounding plug that matches you
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto
power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the
cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical
shock.
• Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a
copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa).
A chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The
proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired
power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
