grounded.
Follow the instructions
in this manual
for
proper
grounding.

extension
cords are not designed
to withstand
the
amounts of electrical
current this dryer utilizes
and can melt, creating
electrical
shock and/
or fire hazard.
Locate the dryer within
reach of

A U.L.-approved
strain relief must be installed onto
power cord. If the strain relief is not attached,

cord can be pulled
out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement
of the cord, resulting in electrical
shock.

Do not use an aluminum
wired receptacle
with a
copper
wired power cord and plug (or vice versa).
A chemical
reaction
occurs between
copper

aluminum
and can cause electrical
shorts. The proper
wiring
and receptacle
is a copper
wired power cord
with a copper
wired receptacle.
