It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.
This dryer is equipped with a power supply cord. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating wall receptacle.
If your electrical requirements are different, contact your authorized Whirlpool service center or a qualified electrician.
