Electrical connection information for gas dryers
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure appliance is wired or plugged into a grounded outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug if it will not fit the outlet.
Have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not use an adaptor.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or
electrical shock.
The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
In the absence of local codes, the dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Electrical requirements for gas dryers
The power supply must be 120V, 60Hz, and connected to a properly grounded branch circuit,
which is protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker, or a time-delay fuse.
If the electrical supply provided does not meet specifications outlined above, the installation of
an approved outlet by a licensed electrician is recommended.
Important!
The dryer is supplied with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against electric shock. The plug should be plugged
directly into a correctly grounded three prong power socket.
DO NOT cut or remove the grounding terminal from this plug.
Ensure proper ground exists before use.
If local codes permit, an external
ground wire (not provided), which
meets local codes, may be added by
attaching to the green ground screw
on the rear of the dryer, and to a
grounded metal cold water pipe or
other established ground.
