- ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD -
This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical •
shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Fol-
low the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some ex- •
tension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts
of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creat-
ing electrical shock and/or fi re hazard. Locate the dryer
within reach of the receptacle for the length power cord
to be purchased, allowing some slack in the cord. Refer
to the pre-installation requirements in this manual for the
proper power cord to be purchased.
- ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD -
A U.L.-approved strain relief must be installed onto pow- •
er cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be
pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement
of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper •
wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical
reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can
cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle
is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired recep-
tacle.
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have
longer drying times than dryers operating on 240 volt power
supply.
