Before operating
or testing,
follow all grounding
instructions
in the Grounding
section.
An individual
branch (or separate)
circuit serving only your dryer is recommended.
DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION
CORD.
Gas models-
U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved
electrical
service, with a 15-amp
fuse or circuit
breaker is
required.
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.
The electric service requirements
can be found
on the data label located
behind the door. 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.
IM PO RTANT:
When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer's electrical
supply with 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-amps
with three No. 10 copper
wire conductors
terminated
with closed
loop terminals,
open-
end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
•
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power
cord electric supply wiring
must be supported
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,
