• Remove the bolt assemblies (bolts and retainers) by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out. • The power cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place. 2 Install the hole caps. • Locate the hole caps d included in the accessory pack or attached to the back of the washer. Install the caps in the holes left by the bolt assemblies. CAUTION • Once removed, save the bolt assemblies for future use. To prevent damage to internal components, do not transport the appliance without reinstalling the shipping bolts. Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the appliance. Connecting Electric Dryers WARNING • To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, property damage, injury to persons, or death when using this appliance, fulfill the following requirements. INSTALLATION 13 Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only 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. • 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. • The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes. (The circuit must be fused on both sides of the line.) ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. • If the branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in length, use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary. • The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied with the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions on the following pages. • Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided with the dryer. • The dryer should be connected to a 4-hole outlet. • If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet will need to be installed by a qualified electrician. • Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected to the same color screw. Wire color indicated in the manual is connected to the same color screw in the block. • Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit installations and (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
