Installation requirements Installation requirements • If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanently grounded metal 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. Electrical connections Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. Do not use an extension cord. Gas models - U.S. and Canada A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required. Electric models - U.S. only Most U.S. dryers require a 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120 / 208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required. • If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle. • The power cord is not provided with U.S. electric model dryers. This cord is sold separately. WARNING Risk of Electric Shock When local codes allow, you can connect the dryer's electrical supply with a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of 120 / 240 volts, 30-amperes with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads. • Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be supported at the dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed strain relief. • Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.) Electric models - Canada Only • A 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required. • All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle. NOTE In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts. 18 English DV7500K-03381C-02_EN.indd 18 4/7/2016 5:05:40 PM
