Do not use an extension cord.

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

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20- ampere fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

A separate circuit serving only this appliance must be provided. A wiring diagram is located inside the console or on the inside of the lower front panel.

Recommended ground method

The dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70*.

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 plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
