7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt that the appliance is properly
grounded.
• This appliance 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 appliance must be equipped with 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.
• Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This appliance 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 appliance. Electric shock may result if the
dryer is not properly grounded.
• The dryer should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This
provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which can cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet. The power cord may
be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric
shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end. The power cord may melt, creating electric
shock and/or fire hazard.
• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful
not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
This will prevent injury and damage to the dryer
from fire and electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the ground prong from the power cord.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer,
the electrical power cord must be plugged into a
properly grounded outlet.
• For personal safety, this dryer must be properly
grounded. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock or injury.
• Refer to the installation instructions in this
manual for specific electrical requirements for
your model. Failure to follow these instructions
may create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire
hazard.
• This dryer must be plugged into a properly
grounded outlet. Electrical shock may result if
the dryer is not properly grounded. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. Failure to follow these instructions
may create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire
hazard.
