ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION
1
ELECTRICDryer
I[
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-insta%tion
requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be
purchased.
A U.L. approved
strain relief must be installed on to 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
NON-CANADIAN
ELECTR/C Dr er
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor
can result in a risk of ebctrical 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 appfiance.
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.

be plugged
into an appropriate
outlet
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.
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.
