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 is 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.

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 provided with 
the dryer: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.

To avoid damaging floor, use a large flat piece of cardboard 

from dryer carton; place under entire back edge of dryer. 

Firmly grasp dryer body (not console panel) and gently lay 

dryer down on cardboard.

Examine leveling legs, find diamond marking. Screw legs into  

leg holes by hand, use a wrench to finish turning legs until 

diamond marking is no longer visible.
Now stand the dryer on its feet. Slide the dryer until it is 

close to its final location. Leave enough room for electrical 

connection and to connect the exhaust vent.
