EXPORT ELECTRIC MODELS

IMPORTANT: When permitted by local codes, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with clothes dryers, that is agency listed, rated at 240 volts minimum, 30 amperes with two No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends or with tinned leads. Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord or electric supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable agency listed strain relief.
