For added personal safety, when possible,
it IS suggested that a separate ground

from the ground connection of the dryer to
a grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground
to a gas or hot water pipe. The grounded
cold water pipe must be metal to metal
connections all the way to the electrical
ground. If there are any non-metallic
interruptions, such as, a meter, pump,
plastic,
rubber,

No. 4 wire and securely clamped to bare
metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT:
For personal safety and
proper operation, the dryer must be
grounded.
