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.

 

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.
