Installation
Electrical connections
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 !20 volt, 60 Hz AC approved
electrical service, with a !5-ampere
fuse or circuit breaker is
required.
Electric models - U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120 / ?40 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-ampere
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-ampere
receptacle.
•
The power cord is NOT provided
with U.S. electric model dryers.
/_, WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
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-ampere
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 by a suitable Ublisted
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 a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire
receptacle, NEMA type !4-30R.)
Electric models - Canada Only
•
A !20 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved
electrical service fused through
a 30-ampere
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-ampere
receptacle.
NOTE
It is not permissible
to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
