ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (PER POCKET)
IMPORTANT:
208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering,
specify exact voltage.
NOTES:
A.
When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current
limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY . Calculate/determine correct fuse
value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to
listed appliance amp draw data.
B.
Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) motor curve type
ONLY . For others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to
appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.
C.
Circuit breakers for 3-phase (3ø) dryers must be 3-pole type.

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes,
grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to
applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes
Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The
ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.

American Dryer Corp.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested
that a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a
grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or
hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have
metal-to-metal connection all the way to the electrical ground.
If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter,
pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they
must be jumped out with a wire (size per local codes) and
securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation,
the dryer must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
WARNING
!
Electrical Grounding Instructions – This dryer is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
Electrical Connections
Where the clothes dryer or combination washer-dryer
installation instructions indicate that the appliance is not
restricted from being connected by means of a power-supply
cord kit, the instructions shall indicate that only a power-
supply cord kit rated 300V min, 30 A, and marked for use
with clothes dryers shall be used. The specified ampere rating
for the cord shall be 30, 40, or 50 A as applicable. The
instructions shall also specify:
• The number of conductors (3 or 4)
• The type of terminations (tinned leads, closed-loop
terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned ends, or
the like) that the cord kit is to employ
• That only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the
appliance is installed in a location where grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations; mobile homes; recreational
vehicles, and areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
For CE Models Only
The means for disconnection from the supply must be
incorporated into wiring having a minimum contact separation
of 3.0 mm in all poles.
