Grounding Requirements
WARNING:
Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Grounding must be in accordance with local codes
and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes,
in accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
For a grounded, cord-connected electric dryer:
The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of
1
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by creating
a path of least resistance for electrical current.
If your dryer is equipped with a power supply
2
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.
Electrical Installation for Electric Dryers
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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
wall outlet, taking into account the length
of power cord to be purchased and allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to Electrical
Requirements in this manual for the proper
power cord to be purchased.
For a permanently-connected electric dryer:
I 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.
For a cord-connected gas dryer:
I This 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 modify plug provided with the appliance:
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
A UL-listed 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.
WARNING:
Use copper receptacles
only.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208-volt power supply
will have longer drying times than those operating
on 240-volt power supply.
A wiring diagram is located inside the control panel.
