Recommended Ground Method

It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

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.

For a permanently connected dryer:

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.

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 dryer 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.

When installed above 10,000 feet (3048 m), a four percent (4%) reduction of the burner B.T.U. rating shown on the model/serial plate is required for each 1,000 foot (305 m) increase in elevation. For assistance when converting to other gas types and/or installing above 10,000 feet (3048 m) elevation, contact your local service company.
