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 Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable
Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. 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 (sized per local codes)
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 connections 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 wire and securely clamped to
bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.
4. Electrical Service Specifications (per pocket)
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be connected to the electrical supply shown on the dryer data label.
WARNING: Any damage done to dryer components due to improper voltage application or
connections will automatically VOID THE WARRANTY.
