MM
H: is your responsibility
■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■ To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
■ To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240-volt,
60-Hz., AC-only electrical supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208-volt
electrical supply, if specified on the seriai/rating plate) on a
separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Connect
to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a quaiified eiectrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a cabinet
ground connector to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire
connection” section.
■ This dryer is manufactured with a 3-wire, cabinet-ground
conductor connected to the NEUTRAL {white or center wire)
of the wiring harness at the terminai block.
■ Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is instailed in a
mobiie home or an area where locai codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral.
If using a power supply cord:
Use a UL approved power supply cord kit marked for use with
ciothes dryers. The kit shouid contain:
■ A UL approved 30 amp power suppiy cord, rated 120/240
volt minimum. The cord should be type 3RD or SRDT and be
at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer
must end in ring terminals or spade temninals with upturned
ends.
■ A UL approved strain relief.
If your outlet looks like this:
4-wire receptacle (14-30R)
Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL approved strain reiief. The 4-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4,10 gauge solid
copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacie of NEMA Type
14-30R. TTie ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green
or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white
cover.
3-wire receptacle (10-30R)
Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade
terminals and UL approved strain relief. The 3-wire power supply
cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, No.-10 copper wires
and match a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-30R.
If connecting by direct wire:
Power supply cable must match power supply (4-wire or 3-wire)
and be:
■ Flexible armored cable or non-metallic sheathed copper
cable (with ground wire), protected with flexible metallic
conduit. All current-carrying wires must be insulated.
■ 10 gauge solid copper wire (do not use aluminum).
■ At least 5 ft (1.52 m) long.
If your outlet looks like this:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded, in the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground­
ed in accordance with ail locai codes and ordinances.
■ For a permanently connected dryer:
This 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 equip­
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment­
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or
personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is proper­
ly grounded. Do not modify the plug on the power supply cord:
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
