• The dryer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides
the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your dryer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged,
resulting in a risk of fire and electrical shock.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do
not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. The
power cord can melt, creating electrical shock and/or
fire hazard.
• When installing or moving the dryer, be careful
not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.
This will prevent injury and prevent damage to the
dryer from fire and electrical shock.
