capabilities, the use of this laundry center
with power created by gas powered
generators, solar powered generators,
wind powered generators or any other
generator other than the local utility
company is not recommended.
Electrical Requirements for
Electric Dryer:
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit
fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or
circuit breakers. Use separately fused
circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT

NOTE
The electric laundry center has been
designed and certified to operate at both
240V and 208V. Drying times on a 208V
power supply will, however, be approximately
20% longer than drying times on a 240V
power supply. This is normal and expected
behavior and applies to all drying cycles.

new branch circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4)
areas where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral.
3-wire Power Supply Cord (not
supplied)
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor
power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT
rated at 240 volt AC minimum,
30 amp, with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed
