GROUNDING

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.

GAS MODELS

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.

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.

If a separate ground is required by local codes, a grounding kit (Part No. 12001875) is available. It contains ground wire, clamp, ground screw and washer. Connect ground wire to back of unit with the cabinet ground screw and washer. Secure other end of ground wire to a suitable external ground connection. The wire may be secured with the clamp to a grounded COLD metal water pipe.

NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO PLASTIC PLUMBING LINES, GAS LINES OR HOT WATER PIPES.

ELECTRIC MODELS

If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the 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.
