ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
The proper
electrical
connection
ensures
a safe
installation
that
meets
local
code
requirements.
A three-wire
or four-wire,
single
phase,
120/240-volt,
60-Hz.,
AC-only,
electrical
supply
(or three-wire
or
four-wire,
120/208-volt
if specified
on
serial/rating
plate)
is required
on a
separate
30-ampere
circuit,
fused
on
both sides of the line. A time-delay
fuse
or circuit
breaker
is recommended.
This dryer
is manufactured
with
the
3-wire,
frame-grounding
conductor
connected
to the NEUTRAL
(white
or center)
of the wiring
harness
of the
terminal
block.
Do not have
a fuse in
the neutral
or grounding
circuit.
A fuse
in the neutral
or grounding
circuit
could
result
in an electrical
shock.
Use a 4-conductor
cord when
the
dryer is installed
in a mobile
home
or
an area where
local codes
do not
permit
grounding
through
the neutral.
