ENGLISH SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7 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 the 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.
