 To minimize the possibility of shock, the cord must be 

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, 

grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. 

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal 

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the 

properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■

 Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the 

dryer is properly grounded.

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.
