that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet.
The power cord can be cut by any movement of the core,
resulting in electrical shock.
