INSTALLATION
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.
