ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ALL ELECTRICDryers
]
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create electrical shock and/
or a fire hazard.
I Canadian ELECTRICDryer I
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
licensedelectrician if you are in doubt asto whether the appliance
isproperly grounded.
[] This appliance MUST be properly arounded. Electricalshock
can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the
instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
[] Do not usean extension cord with this dryer. Someextension
cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical
current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical shock
and/or fire hazard. Locatethe dryer within reachof the receptacle
for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing some slack
in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation requirements in this
manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
[] A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed onto power
cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled
out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement of the cord,
resulting in electrical shock.
[] Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with a copper
wired power cord and pluq (or vice versa).A chemical reaction
occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause electrical
shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is a copper wired
power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
Foraarounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. Thedryer must be grounded. Inthe event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock
by a path of least resistance for electrical current.

Sinceyour dryer isequipped with a power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and agrounding plug, the
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that isproperly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician.Do not
modify plug provided with the appliance.

I. The laundry center isequipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have
longer drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.
