GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric
current. This appliance features a cord
with an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet which has been
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local regulations
and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have
the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service
technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the dryer has been properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance - if it will not fit in the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician or exchange the
cord with an appropriate one rated for
the dryer.
The dryer must only be connected
to an individual branch circuit via a
socket which has been properly
installed and grounded.
The household electrical voltage must
correspond to the voltage specification
on the dryer (rating plate).
You will find the rating plate on the
inside of the front panel.
Connection specifications as well as
the electrical requirements are
stipulated on the appliance nameplate.
Make sure that:
- the power cord plug fits into the
socket.
- the power cord is acceptable for
use in this application.
- the grounding system is properly
installed.
The power cord may be replaced by an
electrician only.
Replacement power cords are available
from Customer Service.
