3. Grounding
Grounding (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 ELECTRIC
CODES ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the 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 (sized per local codes) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a gas pipe or hot
water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connections all the way to the electrical
ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic, or other insulating connectors,
they must be jumped out with #4 wire and securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.
