GAS Dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 15 amp. branch circuit fused with a 15 amp.
maximum time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire, 120 volt single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt 3-
wire power cord.
NEMA 10-30R NEMA 14-30R
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRIC Dryer
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp.
time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO
NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3 wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60
Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT - 3 wire - the dryer MUST employ a
3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 3-WIRE SYSTEM.
4 wire - The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply
cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at 240 volt
AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end spade lug connectors
with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use
with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR A 4-
WIRE SYSTEM.
(Canada - 4-wire power supply cord is installed on dryer.)
WARNING – Risk of Shock. Appliance grounded to neutral
conductor through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is
prohibited for (1) New branch circuit installations (2) mobile homes;
(3) recreational vehicles; and (4) areas where local codes do not
permit grounding through the neutral, (1) disconnect the link from
the neutral, (2) use grounding terminal or lead to ground appliance
in accordance with local codes and (3) connect neutral terminal
or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner (if the appliance
is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use 4-conductor cord
for this purpose). USE COPPER CONDUCTOR ONLY.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R receptacle to be located
so the power supply cord is accessible when the dryer is in the
installed position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)
NOTE: Do not under any
circumstances remove
grounding prong from
plug.
GROUNDING PRONG
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Replace copper connecting pipe that is not
plastic-coated. Stainless steel or plastic-coated brass MUST
be used.
1. Installation MUST conform with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(latest edition).
2. The gas supply line should be of 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) pipe.
3. If codes allow, flexible metal tubing may be used to connect
your dryer to the gas supply line. The tubing MUST be
constructed of stainless steel or plastic-coated brass.
4. The gas supply line MUST have an individual shutoff valve.
5. A 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) N.P.T. plugged tapping, accessible for
test gauge connection, MUST be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer.
6. The dryer MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
7. The dryer MUST be isolated from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-
rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil
type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by
the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dry-
ers and in the United States must also comply with the Outline
for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
