CONNECTING ELECTRIC DRYERS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

To help prevent ﬁ re, electric

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.

To reduce the risk of

ﬁ re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this

appliance, follow basic precautions, including

the following:

• Any installation in a manufactured or mobile

home must comply with the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part

3280 or Standard CAN/CSA Z240 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.

• 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 THE DRYER TO A 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT

CIRCUIT. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

ﬁ re, explosion, or death.

• If the branch circuit to the 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 the

wiring so the 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.

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re,

electric shock, or injury to persons when using this

appliance, follow basic precautions, including the

following:
