does not meet
the above
specifications,
then call a licensed electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
For a grounded, cord-connected drger: This dryer
must be grounded. In the event of u malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock bg providing
u path of least resistance for electric current. This dryer uses
u cord having an equipment grounding conductor and u
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
