ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ALL ELECTRICDryers

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.

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.
[]
This appliance MUST be properly arounded. Electrical shock
can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the
instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
[]
Do not usean 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 pre-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
wired power cord and pluq (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.
For a arounded, 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.

Sinceyour dryer isequipped with a power supply cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that isproperly
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.

I. 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.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have
longer drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.

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 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.
2. 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.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryerMUSTbe 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.
