NOTE: Component failure due to improper voltage application will VOID THE WARRANTY.

3. Grounding

A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In the

absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electric Code

ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION

or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Ca-

nadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas)

The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the location service panel.

For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (no. 18 minimum) be

connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a gas

pipe or hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connection all the way to the

electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic, rubber, or other

insulating connectors, they must be jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare metal

at both ends.

IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.

Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at the electrical service connection area.
