WARN|NG:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• 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 fire, 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 DRYER TO
110=, 115=, OR 120=VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating
elements
are available
for field installation
in dryers which are to be connected
to an
electrical
service of a different
voltage than
that listed on the rating plate. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, explosion,
or death.
if branch circuit to 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 sufficient
slack in wiring
so dryer can be moved from
its normal location when necessary.
Failure
to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
The power cord (pigtail) connection
between
wall receptacle
and dryer terminal
block
IS NOT supplied
with 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 fire, explosion, or death.
A 4-wire connection
is required for all mobile
and manufactured
home installations, as
well
as 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 fire, explosion, or death.
