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 power source via a suitable
socket which is accessible after installing your dryer.
This dryer must be connected to 30A INDIVIDUAL BRANCH
CIRCUIT.

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!
