Electrical Connections
WARNING!
Read the Electrical requirements and grounding
instructions before connecting the tumble dryer.
Electric models of the dryer are manufactured
for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame
is grounded by a link to the neutral conductor
on the dryer terminal block. If local codes do
not permit grounding through the neutral, the
grounding link from the terminal block must be
removed and a separate ground wire must be
used.
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when
the appliance is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited. Grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations, mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, and areas where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductors. The
grounding link on the dryer must be removed for
all 4-wire installations.
These Electrical Connection instructions
provide for installing the dryer in the following
situations:
3-wire connection where local codes permit
grounding through the neutral. 3-wire
connection plus separate grounding connector
where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral.
4-wire connection.
Each of the above connections can be made
with an approved power supply cord or by direct
wiring. Each connection instruction identifies
the appropriate Power Supply Cord and covers
requirements for direct wiring.
NOTE!
In Canada, the dryer is delivered ready-fitted
with a four-prong plug intended for connection
to a single-phase supply.
