Installation instructions
Electrical requirements for dryers
Caution!
To help prevent fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death, the wiring and
grounding must conform to the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (for the US) or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1
(for the Canada) 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.

Grounding

• Dryer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, the ground
will reduce the risk of electrical shock
by providing a path of least resistance
for electrical current.
• 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 dryer.
• The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Gas models
• 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.
• Use separately fused circuits for
washers and dryers, and do not operate
a washer and a dryer on the same
circuit.
• Your dryer has a cord with an
equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug.
Electric models
• If a power cord is not used and the
electric dryer is to be permanently
wired, the dryer must be connected to
a permanent grounded metal wiring
system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal.
Caution!
• Never connect ground wire to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided with
your dryer – if it doesn't fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• 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 or company
review your laundry rooms electrical
supply for any problems.
