The dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60Hz AC approved electrical service.
The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located
on the back.
A 30-amperefuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is
recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
When local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be
connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use
with a dryer, that is UL listed and rated at a minimum of 120/240 volts,
30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with
closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with
tinned leads.
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord
electric supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a
suitable UL-listed strain relief.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new
branchcircuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles,
and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacles, NEMA
type 14-30R.)
