NEMA 14-30R
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRIC Dryer
CIRCUIT
- Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30
amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Use separately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and
DO
NOT
operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit.
POWER SUPPLY
- 3 wire or 4-wire, 240 volt, single phase, 60
Hz, Alternating Current.
POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT
-
3 wire
- the dryer
MUST
employ
a 3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated
at 240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 3-WIRE SYSTEM.
4 wire
- The dryer
MUST
employ a 4-conductor power supply
cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated at 240
volt AC minimum, 30 amp., with 4 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and
marked for use with clothes dryers. See ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS FOR A 4-WIRE SYSTEM.
(Canada - 4-wire power supply cord is installed on dryer.)
WARNING – Risk of Shock.
Appliance grounded to neutral
conductor through a link. Grounding through the neutral link is
prohibited for (1) New branch circuit installations (2) mobile
homes; (3) recreational vehicles; and (4) areas where local codes
do not permit grounding through the neutral, (1) disconnect the
link from the neutral, (2) use grounding terminal or lead to
ground appliance in accordance with local codes and (3) connect
neutral terminal or lead to branch circuit neutral in usual manner
(if the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use
4-conductor cord for this purpose). USE COPPER CONDUCTOR
ONLY.
OUTLET RECEPTACLE
- NEMA 10-30R receptacle to be located
so the power supply cord is accessible when the dryer is in the
installed position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R receptacle.)
NOTE: Do not under any
circumstances remove
grounding prong from
plug
.
GROUNDING PRONG
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal
duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the
outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials.
If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct,
replace it
with a rigid or semi-
rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil
type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by
the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers
and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the
risk of fire.
Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
- Risk of Fire
-
A clothes dryer must be
exhausted outdoors
. Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space
of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the
dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the
home can create a health and fire hazard.
The dryer must be
connected to an exhaust outdoors.
Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.
