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.
