A ground (earth) connections must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In
the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of
the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must
conform to applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION. The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the location service panel.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (per local codes) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a
gas pipe or hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connection ALL the
way to electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped
to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.
