ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR GAS DRYERS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
120-Volt, 60-Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused
electrical supply is required. (Time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is recom-
mended that a separate circuit serving only this
dryer be provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This dryer uses a cord
having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service representa-
tive or personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the dryer is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug on the power supply
cord: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas
supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified
person make sure gas pressure does
not exceed 13" (33 cm) water column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
In the State of Massachusetts, the
following installation instructions apply:
• Installations and repairs must be
performed by a qualified or licensed
contractor, plumber, or gasfitter
qualified or licensed by the State of
Massachusetts.
• If using a ball valve, it shall be a
T-handle type.
• A flexible gas connector, when used,
must not exceed 3 feet.
Gas Type
Natural Gas:
This dryer is equipped for use with NATURAL
GAS. It is design-certified by CSA International
for L.P. (propane or butane) gases with appro-
priate conversion.
