Installation instructions Electrical requirements for dryers Caution! 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 (for the US) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 (for the Canada) 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. Grounding • Dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. • 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 plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Gas models • Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer, because wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your dryer. • Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and do not operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit. • Your dryer has a cord with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Electric models • If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanent grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal. Caution! • Never connect ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes. • Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly grounded. • Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. • If your laundry room does not meet the specifications required by this manual, or if you are uncertain whether or not your laundry room meets these specifications, please have a qualified service person or company or company review your laundry rooms electrical supply for any problems.
