ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with electrical installation, install the dryer's
coin-metering system (when used) in accordance with the
separate instructions provided with the meter.
ALL ELECTRIC Dryers
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.
This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical
shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the
instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with 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.
A U.L. listed 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 with
a copper wired receptacle.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer
drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

Improper connection of the equipment grounding
DANGER
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed
electrician if you 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. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, 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 plug provided with the 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.
ALL GAS Dryers
This dryer is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from this plug.

1. Remove the screws securing the terminal block access cover and
the strain relief mounting bracket located on the back of the dryer
upper corner.
2. Install a U.L. listed strain relief into the power cord entry hole of
the mounting bracket. Finger tighten the nut only at this time.
3. Thread a U.L. listed 30 amp. power cord, NEMA 10-30 Type SRDT,
through the strain relief.
4. Attach the power cord neutral (center wire) conductor to the silver
colored center terminal on the terminal block. Tighten the screw
securely.
5. Attach the remaining two power cord outer conductors to the
outer brass colored terminals on the terminal block. Tighten both
screws securely.
Do not make a sharp bend or crimp wiring/ conductor
at connections.
6. Reattach the strain relief mounting bracket to the back of the
dryer with two screws. Tighten screws securely.
7. Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint firmly against the
power cord.
8. Tighten the strain relief nut securely so that the strain relief does
not turn.
9. Reinstall the terminal block cover.
