ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYERS

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, with 3-Prong Grounding Plug

Following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for gas dryers.

Important Warning: To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, the wiring and grounding

must conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1, 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.

Electrical Requirements for Your Dryer:

!

a) Please note that the wiring diagram is provided

inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires
prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,
because wiring errors can cause serious injury to
you and your dryer.

b) Your dryer is designed to be used on a separate

branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively
grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating
current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse,
equivalent fusetron or circuit breaker.

c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and

dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a
dryer on the same circuit.

a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard

against shock. The plug should be plugged
directed into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into
a properly installed outlet that is grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce

the risk of electric shock, including a
malfunction or breakdown.

c) If your laundry room does not meet the

specifications required by this manual, or if you
are uncertain whether or not your laundry room
meets these specifications, please have a
qualified service person or company, for example
a qualified electrician or your local electric
company, review your laundry room’s electrical
supply for any problems.

WARNING!

Do not overload the circuit by operating
other appliances on the same circuit when
this appliance is operating, by using an
extension cord to connect the dryer to the
power source, or by using any adapter to
allow additional cords to connect to the
same outlet.
