All
safety
messages
will
follow
the
safety
alert
symbol
and
either
the
word
“DANGER”
or
“WARNING.”
These words
mean:
Wn
You

section.
@
This
dryer
is

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
@
For
a
grounded,
cord-connected
dryer:
This
dryer
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
electric
current.
This
dryer
uses
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.
@
For
a
permanently connected
dryer:
This
dryer
must
be
connected
to
a
grounded
metal,
permanent
wiring
system,
or
an
equipment-grounding
conductor
must
be
run
with
the
circuit
conductors
and
connected
to
the
equipment-grounding
terminal
or
lead
on
the
dryer.
WARNING:
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
dryer
is
properly
grounded.
Do
not
modify
the
plug
on
the
power
supply
cord:
if it
will
not
fit
the
outlet,
have
a
proper
outlet
installed
by
a
qualified
electrician.
