INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 8 Cu. Ft. Electric and Gas Dryers Using a three-wire outlet If your outlet is a three-wire (three-prong) outlet, choose a three-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The three-wire power supply cord must: • Be at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) long. • Have three 10-gauge solid copper wires. • Match a three-wire outlet of NEMA Type 10-30R. See Three-wire outlet - for electric dryers: on page 30 for instructions on how to connect a power cord to your dryer. Using a four-wire outlet If your outlet is a four-wire (four-prong) outlet, choose a four-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The four-wire power supply cord must: • Be at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) long. • Have four 10-gauge solid copper wires. • Match a four-wire outlet of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white color. See Four-wire outlet - for electric dryers: on page 31 for instructions on how to connect a power cord to your dryer. Gas requirements Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases. THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR THE NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE, CSA B149.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR CANADA). Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP (liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper performance by a qualified service technician. A ½ in. (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8 in. (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6 in. (15 cm) of your dryer. Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 in. (46 cm) above the floor. Additionally, a 1/8 in. (0.3 cm) N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread) plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of your dryer's gas supply connection. Your dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of the system. Your dryer must be connected to the gas supply piping with a listed flexible gas connector that complies with the standard for connectors for gas appliances, ANSI Z21.24 or CSA 6.10. DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada). • Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas. • As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation. www.insigniaproducts.com 19
