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 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
electric 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, 60Hertz, AC (alternating
current) circuit protected by a suitable 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
electric 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
electric shock.
