Electrical Connection
Plug power supply cord into the grounded outlet or connect
direct wire to power supply. Turn power supply on.
Direct Wire
It is recommended that installation should be done by a qualified
electrician.
This dryer can be connected directly to the fused disconnect or
circuit breaker box with two-wire or three-wire flexible, armored
or non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with ground wire). Do Not
use two-wire with bare ground wire. All current-carrying wires
must be insulated.
A conduit connector must be installed at each end of the power
supply cable (at the dryer and at the junction box.) USE ONLY
10-GAUGE SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
WIRE. Allow 4 ft (1.22 m) of slack in the line so the dryer can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
Recommended Ground Method
■ It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer
to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
