Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line.

Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer.

Do not use an extension cord.

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

This 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. This dryer 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 ground- ed 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 representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper- ly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
