warnIng

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when

using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the

following:
This 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. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected

to a separate 240 VAC, 60-Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused

at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the

line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER SHOULD BE OF

THE MAxIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE.

DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT

CIRCUIT. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire,

explosion, or death.

If branch circuit to dryer is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in length,

use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire

(copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over

15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG 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. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

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 on the following pages. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.

A 4-wire connection is required for all mobile and

manufactured home installations, as well as all new

construction after January 1, 1996. A 4-wire connection must

be used where local codes do not permit grounding through

the neutral wire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or

death.
