Electrical system
requirements
NOTE
Because of potentially inconsistent
voltage capabilities, the use of this dryer
with power created by gas powered
generators, solar powered generators,
wind powered generators or any other
generator other than the local utility
company is not recommended.
Electrical requirements for
electric dryer:
CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit
fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit
breakers. Use separately fused circuits for
washer and dryer. DO NOT operate washer
and dryer on same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY - 3-wire or 4-wire, 120/240
volt, single phase, 60 Hz, Alternating
Current.
NOTE
A 120/208 volt, single phase, 60 Hz,
Alternating Current supply may be used on
dryers marked for use on rating plate.
NOTE
The electric dryer has been designed and
certified to operate at both 240V and 208V.
Drying times on a 208V power supply will,
however, be approximately 20% longer than
drying times on a 240V power supply. This is
normal and expected behavior and applies
to all drying cycles.
IMPORTANT
Dryer is internally grounded to neutral
unless it was manufactured for sale in
Canada.
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 link is prohibited for: (1)
new branch circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4)
areas where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding through the neutral.
