Electrical Installation; Grounding Requirements; Gas Connection - Frigidaire FGQ1452HE1 Installation Instructions Manual

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
I ELECTR/CDryer I
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.
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 designed to withstand the amounts
of electrical 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 pro-installation
requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be
purchased.
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.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle with
a copper wiredpower cord andplug (or vice versa). A chemical
reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and can cause
electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptade 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.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
I USA ELECTR/CDryer 1
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 asto whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUSTbe 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.
,
If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, 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. Do not modify plug provided
with the appliance.

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.
,
Since your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. Do not
modify plug provided with the appliance.
ALL GASDryers
1. The dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from the plug.
,
GAS CONNECTION
Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.
NOTE: DO NOTconnect the dryer to L.R gas service without
converting the gas valve. An L.Rconversion kit must be installed
by a qualified gas technician.
2.Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)I.D, semi-rigid or approved pipe
from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe located on
the back of the dryer (see pages 6 and 7). Use a 1/2 inch to 3/
8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a connection. Apply
an approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive
action of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow gas to
flow through pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open flame.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUSTbe 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.
