installing your dryer

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the Grounding section on page 11.

An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Electric models – U.S. only

Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. A 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.

The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.

IMPORTANT:

When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts, 30-amp with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.

1.size of the conductors and the type of cord.

2.3/4” (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,

(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)

Electric models – Canada Only

A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-amp receptacle.

It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
