Installation Instructions
Electrical installation
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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK 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 de-
signed to withstand the amounts of elec-
trical current this dryer utilizes and can
melt, creating electrical shock and/or fire
hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of
the receptacle for the length power cord
to be purchased, allowing some slack in
the cord. Refer to the pre-installation re-
quirements in this manual for the proper
power cord to be purchased.
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply
will have longer drying times than dryers
operating on 240 volt power supply.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrical shock. Check with a
licensed electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
2. After you purchase and install a 3 wire
or 4 wire power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug that matches you wiring
system, 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.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you've installed
on this appliance. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
