Grounding Information

• Each 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 each
dryer.

• Each dryer has its own terminal block that must

be connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz,
single phase circuit, AC (alternating current)
circuit, fused at 30 Amperes (the circuit must be
fused on both sides of the line). Electrical
service for each dryer should be of maximum
rated voltage listed on the nameplate. Do not
connect dryer to 110, 115, or 120 volt circuit.

• Heating elements are available for field

installation in dryers which are to be connected to
electrical service of different voltage than that
listed on nameplate, such as 208 Volt.

• If branch circuit to dryer is 15 feet (4.57 m) or

less in length, No. 10 AWG wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes. If over 15
feet (4.57 m), use No. 8 AWG wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes. Allow
sufficient slack in wiring so dryer can be moved
from its normal location when necessary.

• The power cord connection between wall

receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT
supplied with dryer. Type of power cord and
gauge of wire must conform to local codes.
