CONNECTING AN ELECTRIC DRYER (cont.)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.
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.
CONNECTING DRYER POWER
CORD
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.
Remove the terminal block access cover
located at the upper back.
A
For 3-wire and 4-wire Connection: Install
a UL-listed strain relief into the power
cord entry hole beneath the terminal
block. Thread a UL-listed 30A, 240V,
3-wire or 4-wire, #10 AWG minimum
copper conductor power cord through
the strain relief.
