Grounding Instructions q 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. q The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single phase circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF 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 conected to electrical service of different voltage than that listed on nameplate, such as 208 Volt. q If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary. q The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with dryer.
