Electrical Requirements for Electric Models Only
• This dryer must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment- rounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the dryer. Failure to do so can result in fi re,
explosion, or death.
• 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 DRYER TO
110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating
elements are available for fi eld installation
in dryers which are to be connected to an
electrical service of a different voltage than
that listed on the rating plate. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fi re, explosion,
or death.
• If 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. (4.50 m), use UL-listed
No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. Allow suffi cient
slack in wiring so dryer can be moved from
its normal location when necessary. Failure
to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or death.
• 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 on the following
pages. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in fi re, explosion, or death.
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as
well as all new construction after January
1, 1996. A 4-wire connection must be used
where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral wire. Failure to do so can
result in fi re, explosion, or death.
Special Electrical Requirements for Mobile or Manufactured Homes
• Any installation in a manufactured or mobile
home must comply with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standards
Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or Standard CAN/
CSA0Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances.
• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile
and manufactured home installations, as well
as all new construction after January 1, 1996.
Failure to do so can result in fi re, explosion, or
death.
