Grounding requirements -
Electric dryer (Canada)
WARNING
Improper grounding of the laundry
center may cause serious injury or
death. Check with a licensed electri-
cian if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The laundry center MUST be
grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electrical shock
by a path of least resistance for
electrical current.
2. Since your laundry center is equipped
with a power supply 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. If in doubt, call
a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug provided
with this appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
