Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. s A 120-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. s A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Be sure fuse or circuit breaker matches the rating of your line. s Use a separate circuit serving only your dryer. s Do not use an extension cord. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS s 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 equipmentgrounding 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5
