ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN
ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE
CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR

requires that the new constructions utilize a 4-wire
connection to an electric dryer.
WARNING:
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance
is installed in a location where grounding through the
neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through
the neutral is prohibited for the new branch-circuit
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and
areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conduction.
