Connecting Electric Dryers WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, property damage, injury to persons, or death when using this appliance, follow requirements including the following: Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only ••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. ••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. ••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. ••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. INSTALLATION 25 WARNING ••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. ••Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected to the same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color screw in the block. ••Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. ••This dryer is supplied with the neutral wire grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire cord is to be used, or where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. ENGLISH

shock, property damage, injury to persons,
or death when using this appliance, follow
requirements including the following:
Electrical Requirements for
Electric Models Only
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
WARNING
•
Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided
with the dryer.
•
The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole outlet.

•
Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to
the same color screw. Wire color indicated on
manual is connected to the same color screw in
the block.
•
Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit installations,
(2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor.
•
This dryer is supplied with the neutral wire
grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE
MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire
cord is to be used, or where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited.
