control hood.
Grounding And Wiring Instructions
• The 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.
• The dryer has its own terminal block that must be
connected to a separate branch, 60 Hertz, single phase
circuit, AC (alternating current) circuit, fused at 30
Amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the
line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE
DRYER SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATED
VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO
NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120
VOLT CIRCUIT. Heating elements are available for
field installation in dryers which are to be connected to
electrical service of different voltage than that listed on
nameplate, such as 208 Volt.
• If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or less
in length, use U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed
No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire only), or as required
by local codes. If over fifteen feet (4.50 m), use U.L.
(Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. 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.
• 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 mentioned
on the following pages.
• The method of wiring the dryer is optional and subject
to local code requirements. See examples below.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
MUST conform with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and
such local regulations as might apply. It is
the customer’s responsibility to have the
wiring and fuses checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the laundry room
has adequate electrical power to operate the
dryer.
