It 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, ANSl/NFPA

70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire supply

connection for homes built after 1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Tosupply 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 serial/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 qualified electrician 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.

• This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The green cabinet-grounding conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the green cabinet- grounding conductor must be removed from the external ground conductor screw (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the green cabinet-grounding conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the

neutral conductor.

• If local codes do not permit the connection of a cabinet ground conductor to the neutral wire, see "Optional 3-wire

connection" section.

• Use a 4-wire conductor cord when the dryer is installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

If your outlet looks like this:

3-wire receptacle (10-30R)

Then choose a 3-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UL listed strain relief. The 3-wire power supply

cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 3, 10-gauge 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 nonmetallic 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 using a power supply cord: Use a UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with

clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

• A UL listed 30 amp power supply cord, rated 120/240-volt minimum. The cord should be type SRD 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 terminals with upturned ends.

• A UL listed 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 listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have 4, 10-gauge copper wires and match a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-30R. The ground wire (ground conductor) may be either green or bare. The neutral conductor must be identified by a white

cover.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

m 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 piug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with aiI local codes and ordinances.

i 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 equipment-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

properly 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.
