INSTALLATION
The laundry center, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes and the National Electrical code
ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• 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 plug (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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• This appliance MUST be properly
grounded. Electrical shock can result
if the laundry center is not properly
grounded. Follow the instructions in this
manual for proper grounding.
DO NOT use an extension cord with
this laundry center. Some extension
cords are not designed to withstand
the amounts of electrical current this
laundry center utilizes and can melt,
creating electrical shock and/or fire
hazard. Locate the laundry center
within reach of the receptacle for the
length power cord to be purchased,
allowing some slack in the cord. Refer
to the
Pre-Installation Requirements
section of
this manual for the proper power cord
to be purchased.
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply
will have longer drying times than dryers
operating on 240 volt power supply.
For a Grounded, Cord-connected
Laundry Center:
1. The laundry center MUST be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electrical shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electrical
current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3-wire
or 4-wire power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug that matches
your wiring system, the plug MUST be
plugged into an appropriate, copper
wired receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If
in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve
installed on this appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a Permanently Connected
Laundry Center:
The laundry center MUST be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system;
or an equipment grounding conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
