ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS DRYERS

Following are additional instructions regarding electrical connections and requirements for gas dryers.
WARNING: The wiring and grounding must conform to the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and all applicable
local regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician to check your home's wiring and fuses to
ensure that your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer. Failure to do so can
result in fire or electrical shock.
Electrical Requirements for Your Dryer:
a) Please note that the wiring diagram is provided
inside the dryer control hood. Label all wires
prior to disconnection when servicing the dryer,
because wiring errors can cause serious injury to
you and your dryer.
b) Your dryer is designed to be used on a separate
branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively
grounded, 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, AC (alternating
current) circuit protected by a 15 Ampere fuse,
equivalent fuse or circuit breaker.
c) Use separately fused circuits for washers and
dryers, and DO NOT operate a washer and a
dryer on the same circuit.
WARNING
• Do not overload the circuit by operating
other appliances on the same circuit
when this appliance is operating, by
using an extension cord to connect the
dryer to the power source, or by using
any adapter to allow additional cords to
connect to the same outlet.
• Failure to do so can result in fire or
electrical shock.
WARNING
• Do not modify the plug provided with
the dryer. If it does not fit the outlet in
your laundry room, a proper outlet will
need to be installed in your laundry
room by a qualified service person or
company.
• Failure to do so can result in fire or
electrical shock.

a) The dryer has a three-prong plug to help guard
against shock. The plug should be plugged
directed into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle that is rated 120 Volts AC (alternating
current) 15 Amps. This plug, in order to be
properly and fully effective, must be plugged into
a properly installed outlet that is grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b) The dryer must be grounded in order to reduce
the risk of electric shock, including a
malfunction or breakdown.
c) If your laundry room does not meet the
specifications required by this manual, or if you
are uncertain whether or not your laundry room
meets these specifications, please have a
qualified service person or company.
Review your laundry room's electrical supply for
any problems.
