Before installation
English 13
Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all
grounding instructions in the “Grounding”
section. An individual branch (or separate)
circuit serving only your dryer is
recommended.
Do not use an extension cord.
U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 240 volt, 60
Hz AC approved electrical service. Some
require 208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical
service. The electric service requirements
can be found on the data label located
behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or
circuit breaker on both sides of the line is
required.
• If a power cord is used, the cord
should be plugged into a 30-ampere
receptacle.
• The power cord is not provided with
U.S. electric model dryers. This cord is
sold separately.
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
When local codes allow, you can connect
the dryer’s electrical supply with a new
power supply cord kit, marked for use
with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated
at a minimum of 240 volts, 30-amperes
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 supported at the
dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed
strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited for (1) new
branch-circuit 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 a
4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Canada Only
• A 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved
electrical service fused through a
30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on
both sides of the line is required.
NOTE
All Canadian models are shipped with
the power cord attached. The power cord
should be plugged into a 30-ampere
receptacle.
In Canada, you may convert a dryer to 208
volt.
