Requir÷men[s
and
[nstru{[ions
The following are specific requirements for proper and safe
electrical installation of your dryer. Failure to follow these
Mstructions can create electrical shock and/or fire hazard.
1, 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,
2. Do not use an extension cord with this dryer, Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electric 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 electrical requirements
in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
3, A U.L approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord, If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
4. Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with copper wired power
cord and plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between
copper and aluminum and can cause electrical shorts, The proper wiring
and receptacle is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
Note: Dryers operating on 208 Volt power supply will have longer
drying times than operating on 240 Volt power supply.

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. The 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 appliance.
