Electrical Requirements for Electric
Models Only
wWARNING:
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• T his dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an equip-
ment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or
death.
• T he 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 fol-
low 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 suf-
ficient 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.
• T he power cord (pigtail) connection between
wall receptacle and 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. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in fire, explo-
sion, or death
• A 4-wire connection is required for all new con-
struction after January 1, 1996. A 4-wire connec-
tion must be used where local codes do not per-
mit grounding through the neutral wire. Failure to
do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
