WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

Use a new UL approved 30-ampere power cord or direct wire cable.

Use a UL approved strain relief.

Disconnect power before making electrical connections. Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.

On all four wire installations remove the grounding link and connect the ground wire to the green ground connecting screw.

Connect remaining 2 supply wires to remaining 2 terminals. Securely tighten all electrical connections.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the control console.

The dryer must be plugged into or connected to an individual branch circuit, do not use an extension cord.

The power supply must be 220/240V or 208V, 60 Hz approved alternating current electrical service. The electrical service requirements can be found on the data label that is located on the splash back. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required on each of the lines.

If a power cord is used, the cord must be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.

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

This dryer is supplied with the cabinet grounded through the neutral on the terminal block. If the dryer is to be installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, the appliance grounding link must be removed and a 4-wire power cord/cable or a separate grounding wire must be used.

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

208V Requirements

If your power supply is 208V 60 Hz, a new element kit must be fitted by a qualified electrician or service representative (see Accessories page 3 for kit part number).
