must
conform
to
the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

Electrical
Requirements
for Your
Dryer:
!
a) Please
note
that the
wiring diagram
is
provided
inside the
dryer
control hood. Label all wires
prior to
disconnection when
servicing
the
dryer,
because
wiring
errors can cause
serious
injury
to
you and your
dryer.
b) Your
dryer
is
designed to
be used
on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively
grounded,
120 Volt, 60
Hertz,
AC
(alternating

circuit
protected by
a
15

or
circuit breaker.
c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and
dryers,
and DO NOT
operate
a
washer and
a
dryer
on
the
same
circuit.
a) The
dryer
has
a
three-prong plug to help guard
against
shock. The
plug
should be
plugged
directed into
a
properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current)
15
Amps.
This
plug,
in order
to
be
properly
and
fully
effective,
must
be
plugged
into
a
properly
installed outlet that is
grounded
in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b)
The
dryer
must
be
grounded
in order
to
reduce
the risk of electric shock,
including
a
malfunction
or
breakdown.
c)
If your
laundry
room
does
not meet
the
specifications required by
this
manual,
or
if you
are
uncertain whether
or
not
your
laundry
room
meets
these
specifications, please
have
a
qualified
service person
or
company, for
example
a
qualified
electrician
or
your local electric
company, review your laundry
room's electrical
supply
for any
problems.
WARNING!
Do not overload the circuit by operating
other
appliances
on
the
same
circuit when
this
appliance
is
operating, by using
an
extension cord
to connect
the
dryer to
the
power source,
or
by using
any
adapter to
allow additional cords to connect to the
same
outlet.
