8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt 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.
• The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The 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 installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
• This dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electrical shock may result if the dryer is
not properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions may create an electric shock hazard
and/or a fire hazard.
Risk of Fire
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• 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 clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
• Install all clothes dryers in accordance with the installation instructions of the manufacturer of the dryer.
