Electrical system requirements  NOTE Because of potentially inconsistent voltage capabilities, the use of this dryer with power created by gas powered generators, solar powered generators, wind powered generators or any other generator other than the local utility company is not recommended. Electrical requirements for electric dryer: CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Use separately fused circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT operate washer and dryer on same circuit. POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 120/240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current.  NOTE A 120/208 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current supply may be used on dryers marked for use on rating plate.  NOTE The electric dryer has been designed and certified to operate at both 240V and 208V. Drying times on a 208V power supply will, however, be approximately 20% longer than drying times on a 240V power supply. This is normal and expected behavior and applies to all drying cycles. IMPORTANT Dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless it was manufactured for sale in Canada. Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral link is prohibited for: (1) new branch circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes DO NOT permit grounding through the neutral.
