The wires that connect to the dryer must end with ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

Do not use an extension cord with this dryer.

Do not connect plug end of power supply cord into a live receptacle before connecting power supply cord to dryer terminal block.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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 power supply cord 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 serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed.
