Gas Dryer Grounding
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edition, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. If codes
permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended
that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path
is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this dryer be provided.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
