Important Safety Information
About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, a ground wire reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric
current.
Standard accepted color coding for
ground wires is green or green
with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored
like grounding wires are NOT to be
used as current carrying conductors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, the
dryer MUST be exhausted to
the outdoors. DO NOT exhaust
dryer air into a window well,
gas vent, chimney or enclosed,
unventilated area, such as an
attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space
under a building or concealed
space of a building.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, DO
NOT use plastic pipe, foil pipe,
or flexible plastic pipe to exhaust
the dryer. Never install flexible
duct in concealed spaces, such
as a wall or ceiling.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, elec-
tric shock, serious injury or
death, all wiring and grounding
must conform with the latest
edition of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the
Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1, and such local
regulations as might apply. It is
the customer's responsibility to
have the wiring and fuses
checked by a qualified electri-
cian to make sure your home
has adequate electrical power
to operate the dryer.

Dryer must be grounded. Dryer is equipped with a cord having a grounding
conductor and a 3-prong grounding plug. The three-prong grounding plug on
