Electrical System Requirements 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 a washer and a dryer on the same circuit. POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. This dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless it was manufactured for sale in Canada. 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. OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the dryer is in the installed position. GROUNDING CONNECTION - See "Grounding requirements" in Electrical Installation section. 3-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT (not supplied) 3-wire receptacle (NEMA type 10-30R) 4-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT (not supplied) 4-wire receptacle (NEMA type 14-30R) The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp, with 3 open end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use with clothes dryers. For 3-wire cord connection instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR A 3-WIRE SYSTEM. The dryer MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp, with 4 open end spade lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use with clothes dryers. For 4-wire cord connection instructions see ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM. Dryers manufactured for sale in Canada have factoryinstalled, 4-wire power supply cord (NEMA 14-30R). Electrical requirements for gas dryer CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15 amp. branch circuit fused with 15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker. POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground, 120 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating Current. POWER SUPPLY CORD - The dryer is equipped with a 120 volt 3-wire power cord. GROUNDING CONNECTION - See "Grounding requirements" in Electrical Installation section. Grounding type wall receptacle Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
