Electrical Connections
Requirements and Instructions
1. 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.
2. 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 electric shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length of power cable to be purchased,
allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the electrical requirements
in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.
3. A approve strain relief must be installed onto power cable. If the 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.
4. Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with 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.
Danger: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
