GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
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 the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment grounding 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.
Additional Grounding Procedure
Some local codes may require a separate ground. In
such cases, the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be purchased separately.
Condensate Drain
The dryer can drain water without delivering to
water container. Water is directly pumped out of
the dryer.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
