Grounding Information

Installation

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The cord-kit must be equipped with a cord having 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.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the cord-kit - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single phase circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). Electrical service for the dryer should be of maximum rated voltage (208 or 240 Volt, depending on heating element) listed on the nameplate. Do not connect dryer to 110, 115, or 120 Volt circuit.

Heating elements are available for field installation in dryers which are to be connected to electrical service of different voltage than that listed on nameplate, such as 208 Volt.
