an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
BWARNING: 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 appliance is properly grounded.
•Power cord plug must be within easy reach after installation.
•To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use extension cords, multi-plugs or an adapter to connect the dryer to electrical mains.
•Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
•If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid an electrical hazard.
•The appliance must not be operated unless it is repaired! There is the risk of electric shock!
•Ventilation openings in the base must not be obstructed by carpets, etc.
•Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

3 Installation Instructions
A WARNING - Risk of fire
•The clothes dryer (“appliance‘) installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
•Install the appliance according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
•Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct the clothes dryer’s airflow and increase the risk of fire.
ATo reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
