GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

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 uses 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

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

■

For a permanently connected dryer:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the dryer.

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

properly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power

supply cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

n Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

n This washer/dryer is equipped with a power supply cord

having a 3 prong grounding plug.

n To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,

grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the

properly grounded outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

n If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

n Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure

the washer is properly grounded.
