Grounding Instructions

•The dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dryer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a three prong 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.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded.

•DO NOT modify the plug provided with the dryer unit—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•If the laundry room’s electrical supply does not meet the above specifications and/or if you are not sure the laundry room has an effective ground, have a qualified electrician or your local electrical utility company check it and correct any problems.
