Part 5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC DRYERS The following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for electric dryers. Warning: 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. Failure to do so can result in fire or electrical shock. 115V/ 230V, 60 Hertz, 3-Wire Installation Instructions for Grounding of your Electric Dryer: a) 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. b) The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 60 Hertz single phase AC circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120 VOLT CIRCUIT. c) If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or less in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary. d) The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions mentioned on the following pages. e) The method of wiring the dryer is optional and subject to local code requirements. Refer to examples on next page. f) You must select the method by which to wire your dryer according to local code and ordinance requirements. Sample methods are included in the following pages. WARNING! • Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided with the dryer. • The dryer should be connected to 4-hole outlet. • If it does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet will need to be installed by a qualified electrician. 17
