For a grounded, cord-connected
dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your dryer is equipped with
a power supply 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. If in doubt, call a licensed
electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug provided
with this appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
1. The dryer is equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug for your protec-
tion against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle.
2. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If
in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug provided
with this appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
