GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

USA ELECTRIC Dryer
Improper connection of the equipment ground-
ing conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunc-
tion or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of elec-
trical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical cur-
rent.
2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug,
the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt,
call a licensed electrician. Do not modify plug pro-
vided with the appliance.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded metal, per-
manent wiring system; or an equipment grounding con-
ductor must be run with the circuit conductors and con-
nected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.

DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment ground-
ing conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunc-
tion or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of elec-
trical shock by a path of least resistance for electrical cur-
rent.
2. Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing 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 li-
censed electrician. Do not modify plug provided with
the appliance.
ALL GAS Dryers
1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from the plug.

GAS CONNECTION

1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service with-
out converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit must
be installed by a qualified gas technician.
2. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved
pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer (see pages 6 and 7). Use
a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a
connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is re-
sistant to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all
pipe connections.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow gas
to flow through pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water
solution.
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open flame.
