ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS U.S.A. ONLY

Electric Models Only

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, ANSI/NFPA 70latest 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 As sociation, One 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 serial/ rating plate) on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-de lay 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.

•

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

•

A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a lo cation where grounding through the neutral

conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branchcircuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

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, rat-

• ed 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.

•

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 neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see “Optional 3-wire connection” section.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

•

This dryer must be grounded. In the event

of malfunction or breakdown, ground ing 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 conduc tor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi nances.

not modify the plug provided with the dryer; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper out let installed by a qualified electrician.

This dryer is equipped with a CSA Inter-

• national Certified Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-30R wall re ceptacle. The cord is 5 ft (1.52 m) in length. Be sure wall receptacle is within reach of dryer’s final location.
