Part 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYERS

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, with 3-Prong Grounding Plug

Following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for gas dryers.

!Important Warning: To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, the wiring and grounding must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and all applicable local regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.

Electrical Requirements for Your Dryer:

a)Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer.

b)Your dryer is designed to be used on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse, equivalent fusetron or circuit breaker.

c)Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.

!WARNING!

Do not overload the circuit by operating other appliances on the same circuit when this appliance is operating, by using an extension cord to connect the dryer to the power source, or by using any adapter to allow additional cords to connect to the same outlet.

!WARNING!

DO NOT modify the plug provided with the dryer. If it does not fit the outlet in your laundry room, a proper outlet will need to be installed in your laundry room by a qualified service person or company.

a)The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard against shock. The plug should be plugged directed into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be properly and fully effective, must be plugged into a properly installed outlet that is grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

b)The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce the risk of electric shock, including a malfunction or breakdown.

c)If your laundry room does not meet the specifications required by this manual, or if you are uncertain whether or not your laundry room meets these specifications, please have a qualified service person or company, for example a qualified electrician or your local electric company, review your laundry room’s electrical

supply for any problems.	1 9
