A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker is required.

Electric models – U.S. only

Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

•If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.

•The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.

IMPORTANT:

When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-amp with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.

1.size of the conductors and the type of cord.

2.3/4” (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

•Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old Dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.

•Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,

(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)

Electric models – Canada Only

•A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

•All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.
