electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment ground- ing conductor must be run with the circuit conduc- tors and connected to the equipment grounding ter- minal or lead on the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAME- PLATE. DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are avail- able for field installation in dryers which are to be connected to an electrical service of a different voltage than that listed on the rating plate. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.

If branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in length, use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m), use UL-listed

No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from its normal location when

necessary. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

•The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT sup-

plied with the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instruc-

tions on the following pages. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death

•A 4-wire connection is required for all new con- struction after January 1, 1996. A 4-wire connection must be used where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral wire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
