MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock

can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the
instructions in this manual for proper grounding.

Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension

cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical
current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock
and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of the receptacle
for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack
in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this
manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.

A U.L. listed strain relief must be installed onto power cord.

If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of
the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord, resulting
in electrical shock.

Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper

wired power cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction
occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical
shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired

The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired

shock by a path of least resistance for electrical current.

2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the
plug MUST

MUST

MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired

receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt,
