Installation instructions
Electrical Connections
Warning!
Read the Electrical requirements and
grounding instructions before connecting the
tumble dryer.
Electric models of the dryer are manufactured
for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer
frame is grounded by a link to the neutral
conductor on the dryer terminal block. If local
codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral, the grounding link from the terminal
block must be removed and a separate
ground wire must be used.
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when
the applience is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor i
prohibited. Grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehi-
cles, and areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral condutors. The
grounding link on the dryer must be removed
for all 4-wire installations.
These Electrical Connection instructions
provide for installing the dryer in the following
situations:
3-wire connection where local codes permit
grounding through the neutral. 3-wire connec-
tion plus separate grounding connector where
local codes do not permit grounding through
the neutral.
4-wire connection.
Each of the above connections can be made
with an approved power supply cord or by
direct wiring. Each connection instruction
identifies the appropriate Power Supply Cord
and covers requirements for direct wiring.
Note
In Canada, the dryer is delivered ready-fitted
with a four-prong plug intended for connection
to a single-phase supply.
