Grounding instructions (see installation)
WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
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!
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance:
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician or exchange the cord with an
appropriate one rated for the dryer.
REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND
CURRENT REQUIREMENTS
(see diagram for location).
The dryer should be connected to the mains supply
via a suitable socket which is accessible after
installing your dryer. This dryer must be connected to
