ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – U.S.A. 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 70 – latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

The National Electrical Code requires a 4-wire power 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.

■■To supply the required 3- or 4-wire, single-phase, 120/240 V, 60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply (or 3- or 4-wire, 120/208 V electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate) on a separate 30 A circuit, fused on both sides of the line. 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 neutral ground 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 neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor. The green ground wire of the 4-wire power cord must be secured to the dryer cabinet with the green

ground screw.

■■If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire, see the “Optional External Ground for 3-Wire Connection” section.

■■A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations after 1996, (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 A power supply cord, rated 120/240 V 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)

3-wire receptacle

(10-30R)

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 four 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.

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 three 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), covered 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.

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 is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor 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 ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali•ed electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dryer: if it will not •t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali•ed electrician.
