INFORMATION FOR GAS DRYERS (cont.)

The dryer must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes, or in the absence of

local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and

be connected to a properly grounded branch circuit

protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time

delay fuse. If electrical supply provided does not meet

these requirements, it is the owner’s responsibility to

have a licensed electrician install a properly grounded

3-prong outlet.

If local codes permit an external ground wire (not

provided) may be added by attaching to the green

ground screw on the rear of the dryer, and to a

grounded metal cold water pipe or other established

ground.
