Installation Instructions

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS

This dryer must be connected to an individual branch circuit, protected by the required time-delay fuses or circuit breakers. A three- or four-wire, single-phase, 120/240V or 120/208V, 60Hz, 30-amp circuit is required.

If the electric supply does not meet the above specifications, then call a licensed electrician.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS (CANADA)

This dryer must be connected to an individual branch circuit, protected by the required time-delay fuses or circuit breakers. The power supply must be of 120/240 volts, 60Hz circuit with the wall receptacle as shown below.

TYPICAL 30 AMP

RECEPTACLE FOR DRYER

The power supply must be protected with 30 Amp fuses or breakers. It must be well grounded and conform to local codes.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment- grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal on the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (CANADA)

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. This appliance is 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.

CONNECTING DRYER USING 4-WIRE CONNECTION (MUST BE USED FOR MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION)

NOTE: Since January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new constructions utilize a

4-wire connection to an electric dryer. A 4-wire cord must also be used where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

3-wire connection is NOT for use on new construction.

1.Turn off the circuit breaker(s) (30 amp) or remove the dryer’s circuit fuse at the electrical box.

2.Be sure the dryer cord is unplugged from the wall receptacle.

3.Remove the power cord cover located at the lower back.

4.Remove and discard ground strap. Keep the green ground screw for Step 7.

5.Install 3/4 in. UL-recognized strain relief to power cord entry hole. Bring power cord through strain relief.

6.Connect power cord as follows:

A.Connect the 2 hot lines to the outer screws of the terminal block (marked L1 and L2).

B.Connect the neutral (white) line to the center of the terminal block (marked N).

7.Attach ground wire of power cord with the green ground screw (hole above strain relief bracket). Tighten all terminal block screws (3) securely.

8.Properly secure power cord to strain relief.

9.Reinstall the cover.

WARNING – NEVER LEAVE THE COVER OFF OF THE TERMINAL BLOCK.
