Electrical Installation for Electric Dryers
WARNING:
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.
This appliance
MUST
be properly grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not
properly grounded. Follow the instructions in
this manual for proper grounding.
DO NOT
use an extension cord with this dryer.
Some extension cords are not designed to
withstand the amounts of electrical current
this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating
electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate
the dryer within reach of the wall outlet, taking
into account the length of power cord to be
purchased and allowing some slack in the
cord. Refer to
Electrical Requirements
in this
manual for the proper power cord to be
purchased.
A UL-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.
NOTE:
Dryers operating on 208-volt power supply will
have longer drying times than those operating
on 240-volt power supply.
A wiring diagram is located under the top panel.

Grounding Requirements
DANGER:
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Grounding must be in accordance with local codes
and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
For a grounded, cord-connected electric dryer:
The dryer
MUST
be grounded. In the event of
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by creating
a path of least resistance for electrical current.
If your dryer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug, 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.
For a permanently-connected electric dryer:
■The dryer
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.
For a grounded, cord-connected gas dryer:
■This dryer is equipped 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
this plug.
