CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS

wWARNING: To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death, the wiring and grounding must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home’s wiring and fuses to ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.

Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only

wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, 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-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal 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 NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are available 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 supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions on the following pages. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.

A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and manufactured home installations, as well as all new construction 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.

Special Electrical Requirements for Mobile or Manufactured Homes

wWARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/ CSA0Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances.

A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and manufactured home installations, as well as all new construction after January 1, 1996. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion,

or death.
