Grounding requirements - Electric dryer (USA)

- 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 power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that matches you wiring system,

the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.

DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed on this appliance.

For a permanently connected dryer:

1.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 or lead on the appliance.
