Grounding requirements - Gas dryer (USA and Canada)

will reduce the risk of electrical 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 fi t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed
electrician.
1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection 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 fi t the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed
electrician.
