INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Requirements
A three-wire or four-wire, single phase
120/240-volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, electrical
supply is required on a separate 30-ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
This dryer is manufactured with the 3-wire,
frame-grounding conductor connected to the
NEUTRAL (center) of the wiring harness of
the terminal block. Do not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
Use a 4-conductor cord when the dryer is
installed in a mobile home or an area where
local codes do not permit grounding through
the neutral.
