installation
instructions
The following are specific requirements for proper
and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create electrical
shock and!or a fire hazard.
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
This appliance MUST be properly grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer _snot
properly grounded. Follow the instructions in
this manual for proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord w_th this dryer.
Some extension cords are not designed to
withstand the amounts of electrical current this
dryer utilizes and can melt, creating electrical
shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer
within reach of the receptacle for the length
power cord to be purchased, allowing some
slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation
requirements in this manual for the proper
power cord to be purchased.
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
A U.h-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 w_th a copper wired
receptacle.
Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply w_ll
have longer drying times than dryers operating
on 240 volt power supply.
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection
of the equipment grounding
conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Check with a hcensed electrician _fyou 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 you 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.
DO NOT modify the plug you've installed on this
appliance.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. 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.
