The following are specific requirements for proper
and safe electrical installation of your dryer.
Failure to follow these instructions can create
electrical shock and/or fire hazard.
WARNING1.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
2.
Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to the electrical requirements in this manual for
the proper power cord to be purchased.
3. A UL approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
4. Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with copper-wired power cord and
plug (or vice versa ). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle
is a copper-wired power cord with a copper-wired receptacle.
Note: Dryers operating on 208 Volt power supply sill have longer drying times
than operation on 240 Volt power supply.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
1. Gas dryers are equipped with a factory installed three-prong 15 Amps ~120
Volts (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
