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.
