WARNING
To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury,
or death, 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. Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, or death.
• The 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 THE DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-
VOLT CIRCUIT. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in fire, explosion, or death.
• If the 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. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No. 8 AWG
wire (copper wire only), or as required by local
codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the
dryer can be moved from its normal location
when necessary. Failure to do so may result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• 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.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
fire, explosion, or death.
• 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.
