Grounding - Bosch DV52J8060E Series User Manual

Grounding

This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical
current.
WARNING
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.
Gas models
WARNING
• Your dryer has a cord with 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 your dryer – if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

WARNING
• Your dryer has an optional cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
This cord is sold separately.
