GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
- The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be connected by
means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is UL listed
and rated at a minimum of 240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire
conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned
up ends, or with tinned leads.
- Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply
wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
- Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for 4
wire receptacles, NEMA type 14-30R).
