Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this
washer/dryer.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not modify the power supply cord
plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Use a new 30-ampere power supply
cord kit. Do Not reuse an old power
supply cord. Possible electrical shock
or fire hazard could occur if old power
supply cord is used.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in an electrical shock.
Do Not use an extension cord with
this washer/dryer.
Check with a qualified electrician if
you are not sure washer/dryer is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A four-wire or three-wire, single-phase,
120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical
supply (or four-wire or three-wire,
120/208-volt, if specified on the
model/serial rating plate) is required on
a separate, 30-ampere circuit, fused on
both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. The
model/serial rating plate is located in
the door well behind the dryer door on
the front of the opening.
It is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to contact a
qualified electrician to assure that the
electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest
edition*, and all local codes and
ordinances.

Power supply cord
Local codes may permit the use of a U.Llisted, 120/240-volt minimum, 30-ampere,
dryer power supply cord kit (pigtail).
Power supply cord should be Type SRD or
SRDT and be at least four feet long. The
wires that connect to the dryer must end
with ring terminals or spade terminals with
upturned ends. A 3/4", U.L.-listed strain
relief must be installed where the power
supply cord connects to the dryer (see
Figures 1 and 2).
