Grounding
This dryer must be grounded.
In the event of malfunction
or breakdown,
the ground will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing
a path of least resistance for the electrical
current.

Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor
can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician
or service representative
or personnel
if you are in
doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly
grounded.
