Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of destination. In the absence of these
codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements
of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to
applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes

Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel with
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
