GAS MODELS
A 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply, win a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
ELECTRIC MODELS
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, the dryer must not be connected to a 120 volt
2-wire circuit.
The electrical supply circuit should be fused through a 30 ampere fuse or circuit breaker on
both sides of the line.
If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30 ampere receptacle.
U.S. MODELS
Maytag electric dryers are manufactured to operate on 120/240 voIt, 60 Hz AC approved
electrical service. The dryer must be converted to operate on a 120/208 volt electrical sys-
tem. A heating element conversion kit is available (see Accessories).
The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
LMPORTANT:
When permitted by local codes, the dryer electrical supply may be con-
nected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with clothes dryer, that is
U.L. listed, rated at 120/240 volts minimum, 30 amperes with three No. 10 copper wire
conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open end spade lugs with turned up ends
or with tinned leads.
Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord or electric supply
wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL listed strain relief.
If the dryer is to be installed in a mobile home or an area where local codes do not permit
grounding through neutral, only a 4 conductor power cord, rated and terminated as above,
may be used.
