WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, property damage, injury to persons, or death when using this
appliance, follow
requirements including the following:
Electrical Requirements for
Electric Models Only
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.
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.
The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 230 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 RATED VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER TO THE 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT.
If the branch circuit to the 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. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only),
or as required by local codes.
Allow sufficient slack in the wiring so the dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary.
The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied
with the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions on the
following pages.
WARNING
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.
Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided with the dryer.
The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole outlet.
If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet will need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to the same color screw. The wire color indicated on the manual is
connected to the same color screw in the block.
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.
This dryer is supplied with the neutral wire grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE MOVED to the neutral
terminal when a 4-wire cord is to be used, or where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited.
NOTE
For electrical requirements for mobile or manufactured homes, see Special Electrical Requirements.
