Grounding and Wiring Instructions
•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 dryer.
•The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz single
phase, AC (alternating current) circuit, fused at 30
Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides
of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR DRYER
SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE
LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT
CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120 VOLT
CIRCUIT. Heating elements are available for field
installation in dryers which are to be connected to
electrical service of different voltage than that
listed on nameplate, such as 208.
•If branch circuit to dryer is 15 feet (4.50 m) or less
in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories)
listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as
required by local codes. If over 15 feet (4.50 m),
use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8
A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required by
local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so
dryer can be moved from its normal location when
necessary.
•The power cord (pigtail) connection between wall
receptacle and dryer terminal block is NOT
supplied with dryer. Type of pigtail and gauge of
wire must conform to local codes and with
instructions mentioned in previous paragraph.
•The method of wiring the dryer is optional and
subject to local code requirements, Figures 56 &
58.
