ELECTRIC DRYERS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: To help prevent ﬁ re, electrical

shock, serious injury, or death, the wiring and

grounding must conform to the latest edition of

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and

all applicable local regulations. Please contact a

qualiﬁ ed electrician to check your home’s wiring

and fuses to ensure that your home has adequate

electrical power to operate the dryer.

• Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must

comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 32-80 or Standard

CAN/CSA0Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances.

• A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and

manufactured home installations, as well as all new

construction after January 1, 1996. Failure to do so can

result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the ﬂ oor.

• To reduce the risk of combustion and ﬁ re, the dryer must

be vented to the outside.

• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or

mobile home.

• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the

back, left, right, or bottom panel.

• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the back,

left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be vented

to the outside using the right side panel because of the

burner housing.

• The dryer exhaust duct must be aﬃ xed securely to the

manufactured or mobile home structure, and the exhaust

duct must be made of a material that will resist ﬁ re and

combustion. It is recommended that you use a rigid or

ﬂ exible metal duct.

• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other

duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.

• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside fresh

air to ensure proper operation. The opening for outside

fresh air must be at least 25 in

(163 cm

• It is important that the clearance of the duct from any

combustible construction be at least 2 inches (5 cm), and

when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be

installed with a clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides

and back of the dryer.

• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied

with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials

necessary for proper installation.

• This 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 dryer. Failure to do so can result in ﬁ re,

explosion, or death.

• The dryer has its own terminal block that must be

connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single

phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be

fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE

FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM

RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO

NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT

CIRCUIT. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

• If branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in

length, use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-

10 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by

local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.50 m), use UL-listed No.-8

AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local

codes. Allow suﬃ cient slack in wiring so dryer can

be moved from its normal location when necessary.

Failure to do so can result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

• The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall

receptacle and dryer terminal block IS NOT supplied

with the dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must

conform to local codes and with instructions on the

following pages. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death

• A 4-wire connection is required for all new

construction after January 1, 1996. A 4-wire connection

must be used where local codes do not permit

grounding through the neutral wire. Failure to do so

can result in ﬁ re, explosion, or death.
