WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• 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 plug (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.
NOTE
A 208 or 240v, single phase 60Hz,
Alternating Current power supply
should be used on electric dryer
models as indicated on rating plate.
A 120v single phase 60Hz Alternating
Current power supply should be used
on gas dryer models as indicated on
rating plate.
NOTE
Dryers operating on 208 volt power
supply will have longer drying times
than dryers operating on 240 volt
power supply.
NOTE
The electric dryer has been designed
and certified to operate at both
240V and 208V. Drying times on a
208V power supply will, however, be
approximately 20% longer than drying
times on a 240V power supply. This
is normal and expected behavior and
applies to all drying cycles.
INSTALLATION
Grounding the electric dryer (USA)
WARNING
Improper grounding of the laundry
center may cause serious injury or
death. 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 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.
2. After you purchase and install a
3-wire or 4-wire power supply cord
having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug
that matches your wiring system,
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.
3. DO NOT modify the plug you've
installed on this appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dryer:
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.
