GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The operating voltage (Volts), Amperage (Amps) and Frequency (Hz) of this dryer are indicated on the Rating Plate located to the right of the loading port. Connect this dryer to a circuit corresponding to that indicated on rating plate and protected by fuses or a circuit breaker in accordance with local codes. Use a power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryer. For 208V and 240V models, use a power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers.

DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE

For alternate 208V or 240V power supply hook-up, proceed as follows:

Remove rear access panel. Connect supply wire leads to terminal block as shown on sketch below, depending on type of installation.

WARNING: Appliance grounded to neutral conductor through a link. If used in a mobile home or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4-conductor cord or cable assembly for use with clothes dryers must be used with the following specifications: Type St. Cable, 125/250 Min Volt, 30 Amp with closed-loop terminals and secured with a UL recognized strain relief. See manufacturer’s instructions Make sure screws on terminal block are tight.

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 electrical current.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. 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.
