metal, permanent wiring system; or an equip-
ment-grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the dryer.
c) The dryer has its own terminal block that must
be connected to a separate branch, 50 Hertz,
single phase circuit, AC (alternating current)
circuit, fused at 20 Amperes (the circuit must be
fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL

MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT
DRYER TO 110, 115, OR 120 VOLT CIRCUIT.
d) 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
